18 I will gather those of you who mourn (A)for the festival,
    so that you will no longer suffer reproach.[a]
19 Behold, at that time (B)I will deal
    with all your oppressors.
And (C)I will save the lame
    and gather the outcast,
and I will change (D)their shame into (E)praise
    and renown in all the earth.
20 (F)At that time I will bring you in,
    at the time when I gather you together;
for I will make you renowned and praised
    among all the peoples of the earth,
(G)when I restore your fortunes
    before your eyes,” says the Lord.

  1. Zephaniah 3:18 The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain

18 I will gather the afflicted from the solemn assembly;
    those who were with you,
        who were bearing a burden of disgrace.

19 “Watch how I deal with everyone who oppresses you!
    At that time I will rescue the one who is lame,
        and I will draw to me[a] the one who has been driven away.
I will honor[b] them with praise
    and with a good reputation in every land
        where they have been put to shame.
20 At that time I will gather you;
    at that time I will bring you home.[c]
Indeed, I will give you a good reputation,
    making you praiseworthy among all of the people of the world,
        when I restore your prosperity before your eyes,” says the Lord.
