ZEP-3:1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the
oppressing city!
ZEP-3:2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction;
she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
ZEP-3:3 Her princes within her [are] roaring lions; her judges
[are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
ZEP-3:4 Her prophets [are] light [and] treacherous persons: her
priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to
the law.
ZEP-3:5 The just LORD [is] in the midst thereof; he will not do
iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he
faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
ZEP-3:6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I
made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are
destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none
inhabitant.
ZEP-3:7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive
instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever
I punished them: but they rose early, [and] corrupted all their
doings.
ZEP-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.
ZEP-3:9 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.
ZEP-3:10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants,
[even] the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
ZEP-3:11 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.
ZEP-3:12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and
poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
ZEP-3:13 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.
ZEP-3:14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and
rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
ZEP-3:15 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.
ZEP-3:16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou
not: [and to] Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
ZEP-3:17 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.
ZEP-3:18 I will gather [them that are] sorrowful for the solemn
assembly, [who] are of thee, [to whom] the reproach of it [was]
a burden.
ZEP-3:19 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.
ZEP-3:20 At that time will I bring you [again], even in the time
that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among
all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before
your eyes, saith the LORD.
