    Zephaniah 3
    • 1   Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!
    • 2   She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in Yahweh. She didn’t draw near to her God.
    • 3   Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
    • 4   Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
    • 5   Yahweh, in the midst of her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.
    • 6   I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
    • 7   I said, “Just fear me. Receive correction, so that her dwelling won’t be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her.” But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
    • 8   “Therefore wait for me”, says Yahweh, “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 on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
    • 9   For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on Yahweh’s name, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
    • 10   From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.
    • 11   In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of your midst your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain.
    • 12   But I will leave in your midst an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in Yahweh’s name.
    • 13   The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.”
    • 14   Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
    • 15   Yahweh has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, Yahweh, is in your midst. You will not be afraid of evil any more.
    • 16   In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Don’t be afraid, Zion. Don’t let your hands be weak.”
    • 17   Yahweh, your God, is in your midst, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
    • 18   I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.
    • 19   Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth.
    • 20   At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says Yahweh.
