Zephaniah 3:20

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.

before your eyes—Incredible as the event may seem, your own eyes with delight shall see it. You will scarcely believe it for joy, but the testimony of your own eyes shall convince you of the delightful reality (compare Luke 24:41).
