Zephaniah 3:7-9
New American Standard Bible 1995
7 “I said, ‘Surely you will revere Me,
(A)Accept instruction.’
So her dwelling will (B)not be cut off
According to all that I have appointed concerning her.
But they were eager to (C)corrupt all their deeds.
8 “Therefore (D)wait for Me,” declares the Lord,
“For the day when I rise up as a witness.
Indeed, My decision is to (E)gather nations,
To assemble kingdoms,
To pour out on them My indignation,
All My burning anger;
For (F)all the earth will be devoured
By the fire of My zeal.
9 “For then I will [a]give to the peoples (G)purified lips,
That all of them may (H)call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him [b]shoulder to shoulder.

New International Version
7 Of Jerusalem I thought,
‘Surely you will fear me
and accept correction!’(A)
Then her place of refuge[a] would not be destroyed,
nor all my punishments come upon[b] her.
But they were still eager
to act corruptly(B) in all they did.
8 Therefore wait(C) for me,”
declares the Lord,
“for the day I will stand up to testify.[c]
I have decided to assemble(D) the nations,(E)
to gather the kingdoms
and to pour out my wrath(F) on them—
all my fierce anger.(G)
The whole world will be consumed(H)
by the fire of my jealous anger.
