Zephaniah 3:7-13 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

7. I said, Surely you will fear me, you will receive instruction; so her dwelling should not be cut off, no matter how I punished her: but they rose early, and corrupted all their deeds.

8. Therefore wait upon me,

9. For then will I restore to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one accord.

10. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring my offering.

11. In that day shall you not be ashamed for all your deeds, in which you have transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of you those that rejoice in your pride, and you shall no more be haughty in my holy mountain.

12. I will also leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.

13. The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed their flocks and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
