Zephaniah 3:8 - 3:13

Yahweh Will Pour Out His Anger

8
“Therefore wait for Me,” declares Yahweh,
“For the day when I rise up as a witness.
Indeed, My judgment is to assemble nations,
To gather 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 change them to peoples with purified lips,
That all of them may call on the name of Yahweh,
To serve Him shoulder to shoulder.
10
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
My worshipers, My scattered ones,
Will bring My offerings.
11
In that day you will feel no shame
Because of all your deeds
By which you have transgressed against Me;
For then I will remove from your midst
Your proud, exulting ones,
And you will never again be haughty
On My holy mountain.
12
But I will cause to remain in your midst
A lowly and poor people,
And they will take refuge in the name of Yahweh.
13
The remnant of Israel will do no injustice
And not speak falsehood,
Nor will a deceitful tongue
Be found in their mouths;
For they will feed and lie down
With no one to make them tremble.”
