Zephaniah 3:8-13
New International Version
8 Therefore wait(A) for me,”
declares the Lord,
“for the day I will stand up to testify.[a]
I have decided to assemble(B) the nations,(C)
to gather the kingdoms
and to pour out my wrath(D) on them—
all my fierce anger.(E)
The whole world will be consumed(F)
by the fire of my jealous anger.
Restoration of Israel’s Remnant
9 “Then I will purify the lips of the peoples,
that all of them may call(G) on the name of the Lord(H)
and serve(I) him shoulder to shoulder.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush[b](J)
my worshipers, my scattered people,
will bring me offerings.(K)
11 On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame(L)
for all the wrongs you have done to me,(M)
because I will remove from you
your arrogant boasters.(N)
Never again will you be haughty
on my holy hill.(O)
12 But I will leave within you
the meek(P) and humble.
The remnant of Israel
will trust(Q) in the name of the Lord.
13 They(R) will do no wrong;(S)
they will tell no lies.(T)
A deceitful tongue
will not be found in their mouths.(U)
They will eat and lie down(V)
and no one will make them afraid.(W)”

The Future Deliverance of Israel
8 “Just you wait!” declares the Lord.
“The day will come when I stand up as a prosecutor,[a]
for I am determined to assemble the nations
and to gather the kingdoms,
in order to pour out my indignation upon them—
all of my fierce anger.
All the earth will be consumed by the fire of my jealousy.
9 Indeed, then I will return my people to a pure language[b]
so that they all may call upon the name of the Lord,
serving him with a united will.[c]
10 “From beyond the rivers of Sudan[d] my worshipers[e]—
including my dispersed people—
will present offerings to me.
11 When this happens,[f] you will not be ashamed of your actions
by which you sinned against me,
because I will remove from among you those who revel in pride.
Arrogance will have no place in my holy mountain.
12 I will keep a humble and gentle people among you,
and they will trust in the name of the Lord.
13 The survivors of Israel will not practice lawlessness
nor tell lies,
nor will a deceitful message be found in their mouths,
because they will eat and rest,
with no one to cause fear.”
