Zephaniah 3:9-13

God will bring people together to worship him

9 ‘At that time, I will change people

so that they speak words that are pure.

Then they can pray to me,

and they can all worship me together.

10 My people who now live far away, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,

will bring offerings to me.

11 At that time, you people of Jerusalem will not be ashamed,

because you will no longer turn against me.

I will remove from among you those people

who boast about themselves.

There will be no proud people who remain on my holy hill.

3:11The holy hill is Mount Zion, in Jerusalem.

12 But I will leave a group of poor and humble people among you.

They will trust me, the Lord, to keep them safe.

13 The Israelites who remain will be honest people.

They will not speak lies.

They will not deceive other people.

They will have food to eat and a place to sleep.

Nobody will cause them to be afraid.’
