Zephaniah 3:8-10
Lexham English Bible
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]
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush
my worshipers and the daughter of my scattered ones
shall bring my offering.
