Zephaniah 3:9-13

New International Reader's Version

⁹ “But then I will purify what all the nations say.
    And they will use their words to worship me.
    They will serve me together.
¹⁰ My scattered people will come to me
    from beyond the rivers of Cush.
They will worship me.
    They will bring me offerings.
¹¹ Jerusalem, you have done many wrong things to me.
    But at that time you will not be put to shame anymore.
That’s because I will remove from this city
    those who think so highly of themselves.
You will never be proud again
    on my holy mountain of Zion.
¹² But inside your city I will leave
    those who are not proud at all.
    Those who are still left alive will trust in the Lord.
¹³ They will not do anything wrong.
They will not tell any lies.
    They will not say anything to fool other people.
They will eat and lie down in peace.
    And no one will make them afraid.”
