Zephaniah 3:12-18 »I will leave a faithful few, a humble and lowly people with you. They will seek refuge in the name of Jehovah.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² »I will leave a faithful few, a humble and lowly people with you. They will seek refuge in the name of Jehovah. ¹³ »The faithful few (remnant) in Israel will not do wrong, tell lies, or use their tongues to deceive others. They will feed their sheep and lie down, and there will be no one making trouble for them.« ¹⁴ Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion! Shout (and sing) in triumph, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! ¹⁵ Jehovah has removed his judgments against you. He has turned aside your enemies. The King of Israel, Jehovah, is in your midst! You will fear calamity no more. ¹⁶ Jerusalem will be told in that day: »Do not be afraid, O Zion! Do not loose courage. ¹⁷ »Jehovah your God is with you! He is a mighty one. He will exult over you with joy. He will refresh you with his love. He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy. ¹⁸ »I will gather those who grieve about the appointed feasts. They came from Jerusalem. The reproach of exile is a burden to them.
