lesserot@Zephaniah:3:1 @ Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressing city!

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:2 @ She hearkened not to any voice; she accepted no correction; in the Lord she did not trust; to her God she drew not near.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:3 @ Her princes in her midst are roaring lions: her judges are evening wolves, they leave not a bone for the morning.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:4 @ Her prophets are thoughtless men of treachery: her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:5 @ The just Lord is in her midst, he will not do wrong; morning after morning doth he bring his justice to the light, it never faileth; but the unjust knoweth no shame.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:6 @ I have cut off nations; destroyed are their battlements; I have laid in ruins their streets, so that none passeth through; their cities are wasted, without a man, without an inhabitant.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:7 @ I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt accept correction; so that her dwelling should not be cut off, all that I had decreed to bring over her; but they rose up early, they acted corruptly in all their doings.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:8 @ Therefore wait but for me, saith the Lord, for the day that I rise up to the prey; for my judgment to gather the nations, for me to assemble the kingdoms, to pour over them my indignation, all the fierceness of my anger; for through the fire of my jealousy shall all the earth be devoured.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:9 @ Yea then will I change unto the people a pure language, that they may all call on the name of the Lord, to serve him with one accord.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:10 @ From beyond the rivers of Cush shall they bring my suppliants, even the assembly of my dispersed, as an offering unto me.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:11 @ On that day shalt thou not be ashamed because of all thy doings, whereby thou hast transgressed against me; for then will I remove out of the midst of thee those that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt never more be haughty again on my holy mount.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:12 @ And I will leave remaining in the midst of thee a humble and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:13 @ The remnant of Israel shall not do injustice, nor speak lies; and there shall not be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue; for they shall feed and lie down, with none to make them afraid.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:14 @ Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; rejoice and be glad with all thy heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:15 @ The Lord hath removed thy punishment, he hath cleared away thy enemy: the king of Israel, the Lord, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not see evil any more.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:16 @ On that day shall it be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: Zion, Let not thy hands become weak.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:17 @ The Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, the mighty one who will save; he will be glad over thee with rejoicing; he will be silent in his love, he will exult over thee with song.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:18 @ Those that mourn far away from the festive assembly do I gather, those that were separated from thee, for thee the burden of reproach.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:19 @ Behold, I will deal with all that afflict thee at that time: and I will save her that halteth, and her that was driven off will I gather; and I will render them a praise and a famous name on all the earth where they have been put to shame.

lesserot@Zephaniah:3:20 @ At that time will I bring you back, even in the time that I gather you; for I will make you for a name and for a praise among all people of the earth, when I bring back again your captives before your eyes, saith the Lord.
