Zephaniah 3:18-20
New American Standard Bible
18 I 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.
19 Behold, 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.
20 At 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.

Zephaniah 3:18-20
International Standard Version
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.
