“For then I will [a]give to the peoples (A)purified lips,
That all of them may (B)call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him [b]shoulder to shoulder.
10 “From beyond the rivers of (C)Ethiopia
My [c]worshipers, [d]My dispersed ones,
Will (D)bring My offerings.
11 “In that day you will (E)feel no shame
Because of all your deeds
By which you have rebelled against Me;
For then I will remove from your midst
Your (F)proud, exulting ones,
And you will never again be haughty
On My (G)holy mountain.

A Remnant of Israel

12 “But I will leave among you
A (H)humble and lowly people,
And they will (I)take refuge in the name of the Lord.
13 “The (J)remnant of Israel will (K)do no wrong
And (L)tell no lies,
Nor will a deceitful tongue
Be found in their mouths;
For they will (M)feed and lie down
With no one to make them tremble.”
