Zephaniah 3:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ I have said, ‘Surely she will fear me;
    she will accept discipline.
Then her dwelling place will not be cut down,
    nor all that I have brought upon her.’
Surely they rise early;
    they make all their deeds corrupt.
⁸ “Therefore, wait for me”—a declaration of Yahweh—
    “for the day of my rising as a witness.
For my decision is to gather nations,
    to assemble^[a] kingdoms,
    to pour out my wrath upon them, all my burning anger.
For by the fire of my anger all the land shall be consumed.
⁹ Because then I will make the speech of the nations pure;^[b]
    that all of them might call on the name of Yahweh,
    to serve him in unison.^[c]
