Zephaniah 3:7-9
New King James Version
7 (A)I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me,
You will receive instruction’—
So that her dwelling would not be cut off,
Despite everything for which I punished her.
But [a]they rose early and (B)corrupted all their deeds.
A Faithful Remnant(C)
8 “Therefore (D)wait for Me,” says the Lord,
“Until the day I rise up [b]for plunder;
My determination is to (E)gather the nations
To My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation,
All My fierce anger;
All the earth (F)shall be devoured
With the fire of My jealousy.
9 “For then I will restore to the peoples (G)a pure [c]language,
That they all may call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him with one accord.
