Zephaniah 3:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 I said, surely thou wilt fear me: thou wilt receive instruction: so their dwelling should not be destroyed howsoever I visited them, but [a]they rose early, and corrupted all their works.
8 Therefore [b]wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for I am determined to gather the nations, and that I will assemble the kingdoms to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce wrath: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 Surely [c]then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord to serve him [d]with one consent.
