A Faithful Remnant(A)

“Therefore (B)wait for Me,” says the Lord,
“Until the day I rise up [a]for plunder;
My determination is to (C)gather the nations
To My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation,
All My fierce anger;
All the earth (D)shall be devoured
With the fire of My jealousy.

  1. Zephaniah 3:8 LXX, Syr. for witness; Tg. for the day of My revelation for judgment; Vg. for the day of My resurrection that is to come

11 In that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds
In which you transgress against Me;
For then I will take away from your midst
Those who (A)rejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty
In My holy mountain.
12 I will leave in your midst
(B)A meek and humble people,
And they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
13 (C)The remnant of Israel (D)shall do no unrighteousness
(E)And speak no lies,
Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth;
For (F)they shall feed their flocks and lie down,
And no one shall make them afraid.”

Joy in God’s Faithfulness

14 (G)Sing, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away your judgments,
He has cast out your enemy.
(H)The King of Israel, the Lord, (I)is in your midst;
You shall [a]see disaster no more.
