Zephaniah 3:18-20
World English Bible
18 I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you. 19 Behold,[a] at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth. 20 At that time I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says Yahweh.
