Zephaniah 3:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ The Lord your God
wins victory after victory
    and is always with you.
He celebrates and sings
    because of you,
and he will refresh your life
    with his love.”^[a]

¹⁸ The Lord has promised:
Your sorrow has ended,
    and you can celebrate.^[b]
19 I will punish those
    who mistreat you.
I will bring together the lame
    and the outcasts,
then they will be praised,
instead of despised,
    in every country on earth.
