Zephaniah 3

Woe to Oppressive Jerusalem
1Woe to the city that is rebellious  # 3:1 Or filthy,# 3:1 Ex 23:21; Dt 9:24; Ps 106:43 and defiled,  # 3:1 Is 59:3
the oppressive city!
2She has not obeyed;  # 3:2 1Sm 15:22
she has not accepted discipline.  # 3:2 Jb 5:17
She has not trusted  # 3:2 Pr 3:5 in the Lord;
she has not drawn near to her God.
3The  # 3:3 Lit Her princes within her are roaring lions;  # 3:3 Ezk 22:25
her judges are wolves of the night,  # 3:3 Hab 1:8; Mt 7:15; Ac 20:29
which leave nothing for  # 3:3 Or that had nothing to gnaw in  the morning.
4Her prophets are reckless  # 3:4 Jdg 9:4  —
treacherous men.
Her priests profane the sanctuary;
they do violence to instruction.  # 3:4 Ezk 22:26
5The righteous Lord is in her;  # 3:5 Ps 129:4
he does no wrong.  # 3:5 Ps 92:15
He applies his justice morning by morning;
he does not fail at dawn,
yet the one who does wrong knows no shame.  # 3:5 Jr 8:12
6I have cut off nations;
their corner towers  # 3:6 Zph 1:16 are destroyed.
I have laid waste their streets,
with no one to pass through.
Their cities lie devastated,
without a person, without an inhabitant.  # 3:6 Jr 44:2; Zph 2:5
7I said: You will certainly fear me
and accept correction.
Then her dwelling place  # 3:7 LXX, Syr read her eyes
would not be cut off
based on all that I had allocated to her.
However, they became more corrupt
in all their actions.
8Therefore, wait for me  # 3:8 Jb 3:21; Ps 33:20; Is 8:17; 30:18; 64:4  —
this is the  Lord’s declaration —
until the day I rise up for plunder.  # 3:8 LXX, Syr read for a witness; Vg reads up forever
For my decision is to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
in order to pour out my indignation  # 3:8 Ps 69:24; Ezk 21:31; 22:31; Nah 1:6 on them,
all my burning anger;
for the whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of my jealousy.  # 3:8 Dt 29:20; Ps 79:5; Zch 1:14; 8:2
Final Restoration Promised
9For I will then restore
pure  # 3:9 Dn 12:10 speech to the peoples
so that all of them may call
on the name of the  Lord
and serve him with a single purpose.  # 3:9 Lit with one shoulder
10From beyond the rivers of Cush  # 3:10 Is 18:1–3
my supplicants, my dispersed people,
will bring an offering to me.
11On that day you  # 3:11 = Israel will not be put to shame  # 3:11 Gn 2:25; 2Sm 19:5; Ps 25:3
because of everything you have done
in rebelling  # 3:11 Is 1:2 against me.
For then I will remove
from among you your jubilant,  # 3:11 Jr 48:29 arrogant people,
and you will never again be haughty
on my holy mountain.  # 3:11 Is 11:9
12I will leave
a meek and humble people  # 3:12 Is 66:2 among you,
and they will take refuge in the name of the  Lord.
13The remnant  # 3:13 Gn 45:7; 2Kg 19:31; Jr 23:3 of Israel will no longer
do wrong or tell lies;
a deceitful tongue will not be found
in their mouths.
They will pasture and lie down,
with nothing to make them afraid.  # 3:13 Gn 42:28; Jr 50:19; Ezk 34:14; Mc 4:4; 7:14
14Sing for joy, Daughter Zion;
shout loudly, Israel!
Be glad and celebrate with all your heart,
Daughter Jerusalem!
15The Lord has removed your punishment;
he has turned back your enemy.
The King of Israel, the Lord, is among you;
you need no longer fear harm.
16On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear;
Zion, do not let your hands grow weak.  # 3:16 Jr 6:24; 50:43
17The Lord your God is among you,
a warrior  # 3:17 Jos 1:14; Jb 16:14; Ps 78:65 who saves.
He will rejoice over you  # 3:17 Dt 28:63; 30:9 with gladness.
He will be quiet  # 3:17 LXX, Syr read He will renew you in his love.
He will delight in you with singing.”  # 3:17 Ps 30:5
18I will gather those who have been driven  # 3:18 Lm 1:4–5; 3:33
from the appointed festivals;
they will be a tribute from you  # 3:18 = Jerusalem
and a reproach on her.  # 3:18 Hb obscure
19Yes, at that time
I will deal with all who oppress you.
I will save the lame  # 3:19 Ex 14:30 and gather the outcasts;  # 3:19 Mc 4:6
I will make those who were disgraced
throughout the earth
receive praise and fame.
20At that time I will bring you  # 3:20 = people of Israel  back,
yes, at the time I will gather you.
I will give you fame and praise
among all the peoples of the earth,
when I restore your fortunes  # 3:20 Jb 42:10; Jr 29:14; Ezk 39:25; Hs 6:11; Jl 3:1 before your eyes.
The Lord has spoken.
