Zephaniah 3:14-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Sing, Jerusalem.
    Israel, shout for joy!
Jerusalem, be happy.
    Rejoice with all your heart.
¹⁵ The Lord has stopped punishing you.
    He has sent your enemies away.
The King of Israel, the Lord, is with you.
    You will never again be afraid of being harmed.
¹⁶ On that day Jerusalem will be told,
    “Don’t be afraid, city of Jerusalem.
    Don’t be so discouraged that you can’t do anything.
¹⁷ The Lord your God is with you.
    The mighty One will save you.
The Lord will be happy with you.
    You will rest in his love.
    He will sing and be joyful about you.”
