Zephaniah 3:18-20
English Standard Version
18 I will gather those of you who mourn (A)for the festival,
so that you will no longer suffer reproach.[a]
19 Behold, at that time (B)I will deal
with all your oppressors.
And (C)I will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change (D)their shame into (E)praise
and renown in all the earth.
20 (F)At that time I will bring you in,
at the time when I gather you together;
for I will make you renowned and praised
among all the peoples of the earth,
(G)when I restore your fortunes
before your eyes,” says the Lord.
