Zephaniah 3:8-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
8
'Therefore wait for Me,' declares the
Lord
,
'For the day when I rise up as a witness.
Indeed, My decision
is
to gather nations,
To assemble kingdoms,
To pour out on them My indignation,
All My burning anger;
For all the earth will be devoured
By the fire of My zeal.
9
For then I will restore to the peoples pure lips,
So that all of them may call on the name of the
Lord
,
To serve Him shoulder to shoulder.
10
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
My worshipers, My dispersed ones,
Will bring My offerings.
11
On that day you will feel no shame
Because of all your deeds
By which you have rebelled against Me;
For then I will remove from your midst
Your proud, arrogant ones,
And you will never again be haughty
On My holy mountain.
12
But I will leave among you
A humble and lowly people,
And they will take refuge in the name of the
Lord
.
13
The remnant of Israel will do no wrong
And tell no lies,
Nor will a deceitful tongue
Be found in their mouths;
For they will feed and lie down
With no one to frighten
them.
'
14
Shout for joy, daughter of Zion!
Shout
in triumph,
Israel!
Rejoice and triumph with all
your
heart,
Daughter of Jerusalem!
15
The
Lord
has taken away
His
judgments against you,
He has cleared away your enemies.
The King of Israel, the
Lord
, is in your midst;
You will no longer fear disaster.
16
On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:
'Do not be afraid, Zion;
Do not let your hands fall limp.
17
The
Lord
your God is in your midst,
A victorious warrior.
He will rejoice over you with joy,
He will be quiet in His love,
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
18
I will gather those who are worried about the appointed feasts—
They came from you,
Zion;
The
disgrace
of exile
is a burden on them.
19
Behold, I am going to deal at that time
With all your oppressors;
I will save those who limp
And gather the scattered,
And I will turn their shame into praise and fame
In all the earth.
King James Version
Chapter 3
8
Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the
Lord
, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9
For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the
Lord
, to serve him with one consent.
10
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
11
In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
12
I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the
Lord
.
13
The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
14
Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15
The
Lord
hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the
Lord
, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
16
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
17
The
Lord
thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
18
I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
19
Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.

Chapter 3
8
Therefore, wait for me — this is the
Lord
’s declaration— until the day I rise up for plunder.
For my decision is to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
in order to pour out my indignation on them,
all my burning anger;
for the whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of my jealousy.
9
For I will then restore
pure speech to the peoples
so that all of them may call
on the name of the
Lord
and serve him with a single purpose.
10
From beyond the rivers of Cush
my supplicants, my dispersed people,
will bring an offering to me.
11
On that day you will not be put to shame
because of everything you have done
in rebelling against me.
For then I will remove
from among you your jubilant, arrogant people,
and you will never again be haughty
on my holy mountain.
12
I will leave
a meek and humble people among you,
and they will take refuge in the name of the
Lord
.
13
The remnant of Israel will no longer
do wrong or tell lies;
a deceitful tongue will not be found
in their mouths.
They will pasture and lie down,
with nothing to make them afraid.
14
Sing for joy, Daughter Zion;
shout loudly, Israel!
Be glad and celebrate with all your heart,
Daughter Jerusalem!
15
The
Lord
has removed your punishment;
he has turned back your enemy.
The King of Israel, the
Lord
, is among you;
you need no longer fear harm.
16
On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:
"Do not fear;
Zion, do not let your hands grow weak.
17
The
Lord
your God is among you,
a warrior who saves.
He will rejoice over you with gladness.
He will be quiet in his love.
He will delight in you with singing."
18
I will gather those who have been driven
from the appointed festivals;
they will be a tribute from you
and a reproach on her.
19
Yes, at that time
I will deal with all who oppress you.
I will save the lame and gather the outcasts;
I will make those who were disgraced
throughout the earth
receive praise and fame.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
8
Therefore, be patient,' says the
Lord
.
'Soon I will stand and accuse these evil nations.
For I have decided to gather the kingdoms of the earth
and pour out my fiercest anger and fury on them.
All the earth will be devoured
by the fire of my jealousy.
9
'Then I will purify the speech of all people,
so that everyone can worship the
Lord
together.
10
My scattered people who live beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
will come to present their offerings.
11
On that day you will no longer need to be ashamed,
for you will no longer be rebels against me.
I will remove all proud and arrogant people from among you.
There will be no more haughtiness on my holy mountain.
12
Those who are left will be the lowly and humble,
for it is they who trust in the name of the
Lord
.
13
The remnant of Israel will do no wrong;
they will never tell lies or deceive one another.
They will eat and sleep in safety,
and no one will make them afraid.'
14
Sing, O daughter of Zion;
shout aloud, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
15
For the
Lord
will remove his hand of judgment
and will disperse the armies of your enemy.
And the
Lord
himself, the King of Israel,
will live among you!
At last your troubles will be over,
and you will never again fear disaster.
16
On that day the announcement to Jerusalem will be,
'Cheer up, Zion! Don’t be afraid!
17
For the
Lord
your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.'
18
'I will gather you who mourn for the appointed festivals;
you will be disgraced no more.
19
And I will deal severely with all who have oppressed you.
I will save the weak and helpless ones;
I will bring together
those who were chased away.
I will give glory and fame to my former exiles,
wherever they have been mocked and shamed.

Lord

And gather those who were driven out;
I will appoint them for praise and fame
In every land where they were put to shame.
