Zephaniah 3:18-20
New Living Translation
18 “I will gather you who mourn for the appointed festivals;
you will be disgraced no more.[a]
19 And I will deal severely with all who have oppressed you.
I will save the weak and helpless ones;
I will bring together
those who were chased away.
I will give glory and fame to my former exiles,
wherever they have been mocked and shamed.
20 On that day I will gather you together
and bring you home again.
I will give you a good name, a name of distinction,
among all the nations of the earth,
as I restore your fortunes before their very eyes.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Zephaniah 3:18-20
Legacy Standard Bible
18 I will assemble those who (A)grieve about the appointed feasts—
They were from you, O Zion;
The reproach of exile is a burden on [a]them.
19 Behold, I am going to deal at that time
With all those who (B)afflict you,
And I will save the (C)lame
And gather the banished,
And I will turn them—in their (D)shame—into (E)praise and a name
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 give you to be a (G)name and praise
Among all the peoples of the earth,
When I (H)restore your fortunes before your eyes,”
Says Yahweh.
