Zephaniah 3:13-20 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. The remnant of Israel will do no unrighteousness,nor speak lies;nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth;for they will feed and lie down,and no one will make them afraid.

14. Sing, 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 enemies.The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;you will see evil no more.

16. On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:Fear not, O Zion;let not your hands be slack.

17. The Lord your God is in your midst,a Mighty One, who will save.He will rejoice over you with gladness,He will renew you with His love,He will rejoice over you with singing.

18. I will gather those who grievefor the appointed festival,which is a reproach and burden on you.

19. At that time I will dealwith all who oppress you;I will save the lameand gather the outcast;I will give them praise and famein every land where they have been put to shame.

20. At that time I will bring you in,at the time when I gather you;for I will make you renowned and praisedamong all peoples of the earth,when I restore your fortunesbefore your eyes,says the Lord.
