Zephaniah 3:18-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 I will gather those who have been driven(A)
from the appointed festivals;
they will be a tribute from you[a]
and a reproach on her.[b]
19 Yes, at that time
I will deal with all who afflict you.
I will save the lame(B) and gather the scattered;(C)
I will make those who were disgraced
throughout the earth
receive praise and fame.
20 At that time I will bring you[c] back,
yes, at the time I will gather you.
I will give you fame and praise
among all the peoples of the earth,
when I restore your fortunes(D) before your eyes.
Yahweh has spoken.

Zephaniah 3:18-20
International Standard Version
18 I will gather the afflicted from the solemn assembly;
those who were with you,
who were bearing a burden of disgrace.
19 “Watch how I deal with everyone who oppresses you!
At that time I will rescue the one who is lame,
and I will draw to me[a] the one who has been driven away.
I will honor[b] them with praise
and with a good reputation in every land
where they have been put to shame.
20 At that time I will gather you;
at that time I will bring you home.[c]
Indeed, I will give you a good reputation,
making you praiseworthy among all of the people of the world,
when I restore your prosperity before your eyes,” says the Lord.
