Zephaniah 3:18-20

New American Standard Bible

¹⁸I will gather those who are ^(A)worried about the appointed feasts—
They ^[a]came from you, Zion;
The disgrace of exile is a burden on ^[b]them.
¹⁹Behold, I am going to deal at that time
With all your ^(B)oppressors;
I will save ^(C)those who limp
And gather the scattered,
And I will turn their ^(D)shame into ^(E)praise and fame
In all the earth.
²⁰At that time I will ^(F)bring you in,
Even at the time when I gather you together;
Indeed, I will make you ^(G)famous and praiseworthy
Among all the peoples of the earth,
When I ^(H)restore your fortunes before your eyes,”
Says the Lord.
