Zephaniah 3:12-18

BSB(i) 12 But I will leave within you a meek and humble people, and they will trust in the name of the LORD. 13 The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or speak lies, nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. But they will feed and lie down, with no one to make them tremble.” 14 Sing for joy, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem! 15 The LORD has taken away your punishment; He has turned back your enemy. Israel’s King, the LORD, is among you; no longer will you fear any harm. 16 On that day they will say to Jerusalem: “Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands fall limp. 17 The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.” 18 “I will gather those among you who grieve over the appointed feasts, so that you will no longer suffer reproach.
