Zephaniah 3:12
Compare all
10 aFrom beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
My worshipers,
The daughter of My dispersed ones,
Shall bring My offering. 
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 arejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty
In My holy mountain. 
12 I will leave in your midst
aA meek and humble people,
And they shall trust in the name of the Lord. 
13 aThe remnant of Israel bshall do no unrighteousness
cAnd speak no lies,
Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth;
For dthey shall feed their flocks and lie down,
And no one shall make them afraid.” 

Joy in God’s Faithfulness

14 aSing, 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.
aThe King of Israel, the Lord, bis in your midst;
You shall1 see disaster no more. 
16 In that day ait shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear;
Zion, blet not your hands be weak. 
17 The Lord your God ain your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
bHe 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 who asorrow over the appointed assembly,
Who are among you,
To whom its reproach is a burden. 
19 Behold, at that time
I will deal with all who afflict you;
I will save the alame,
And gather those who were driven out;
I will appoint them for praise and fame
In every land where they were put to shame. 
20 At that time aI will bring you back,
Even at the time I gather you;
For I will give you1 fame and praise
Among all the peoples of the earth,
When I return your captives before your eyes,”
Says the Lord.

Zephaniah 3:12

An afflicted and poor people - In such a state will the Jews be found when they shall hear the universal call, and believe in Christ Jesus. Indeed, this is the general state of the Jews in the present day; except a Jew that are called Jews, who are very rich; and who believe just as much in the God of Jacob, as they do in Jesus Christ.
