Zephaniah 3:8-10
Contemporary English Version

Nations Will Turn to the Lord

8 The Lord said:
Just wait for the day
    when I accuse you nations.
I have decided on a day,
    when I will bring together
every nation and kingdom
and punish them all
    in my fiery anger.
I will become furious
    and destroy the earth.

9 I will purify each language
and make those languages
    acceptable for praising me.[a]
Then, with hearts united,
everyone will serve
    only me, the Lord.
10 From across the rivers
    of Ethiopia,[b]
my scattered people,
my true worshipers,
    will bring offerings to me.
