Zephaniah 3:8-12
New King James Version
A Faithful Remnant(A)
8 “Therefore (B)wait for Me,” says the Lord,
“Until the day I rise up [a]for plunder;
My determination is to (C)gather the nations
To My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation,
All My fierce anger;
All the earth (D)shall be devoured
With the fire of My jealousy.
9 “For then I will restore to the peoples (E)a pure [b]language,
That they all may call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him with one accord.
10 (F)From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
My worshipers,
The daughter of My dispersed ones,
Shall bring My offering.
11 In that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds
In which you transgress against Me;
For then I will take away from your midst
Those who (G)rejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty
In My holy mountain.
12 I will leave in your midst
(H)A meek and humble people,
And they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
