Zephaniah 3:6-14 and 20

Zephaniah Chapter 3 צְפַנְיָה

  הִכְרַתִּי גוֹיִם, נָשַׁמּוּ פִּנּוֹתָם--הֶחֱרַבְתִּי חוּצוֹתָם, מִבְּלִי עוֹבֵר; נִצְדּוּ עָרֵיהֶם מִבְּלִי-אִישׁ, מֵאֵין יוֹשֵׁב.6 I have cut off nations, their corners are desolate; I have made their streets waste, so that none passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
ז  אָמַרְתִּי אַךְ-תִּירְאִי אוֹתִי, תִּקְחִי מוּסָר, וְלֹא-יִכָּרֵת מְעוֹנָהּ, כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-פָּקַדְתִּי עָלֶיהָ; אָכֵן הִשְׁכִּימוּ הִשְׁחִיתוּ, כֹּל עֲלִילוֹתָם.7 I said: 'Surely thou wilt fear Me, thou wilt receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, despite all that I have visited upon her'; but they betimes corrupted all their doings.

ח  לָכֵן חַכּוּ-לִי נְאֻם-יְהוָה, לְיוֹם קוּמִי לְעַד:  כִּי מִשְׁפָּטִי לֶאֱסֹף גּוֹיִם לְקָבְצִי מַמְלָכוֹת, לִשְׁפֹּךְ עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמִי כֹּל חֲרוֹן אַפִּי--כִּי בְּאֵשׁ קִנְאָתִי, תֵּאָכֵל כָּל-הָאָרֶץ.8 Therefore wait ye for Me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for My determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them Mine indignation, even all My fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.
ט  כִּי-אָז אֶהְפֹּךְ אֶל-עַמִּים, שָׂפָה בְרוּרָה, לִקְרֹא כֻלָּם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה, לְעָבְדוֹ שְׁכֶם אֶחָד.9 For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve Him with one consent.
י  מֵעֵבֶר, לְנַהֲרֵי-כוּשׁ--עֲתָרַי, בַּת-פּוּצַי, יוֹבִלוּן, מִנְחָתִי.10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia shall they bring My suppliants, even the daughter of My dispersed, as Mine offering.
יא  בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, לֹא תֵבוֹשִׁי מִכֹּל עֲלִילֹתַיִךְ, אֲשֶׁר פָּשַׁעַתְּ, בִּי:  כִּי-אָז אָסִיר מִקִּרְבֵּךְ, עַלִּיזֵי גַּאֲוָתֵךְ, וְלֹא-תוֹסִפִי לְגָבְהָה עוֹד, בְּהַר קָדְשִׁי.11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against Me; for then I will take away out of the midst of thee thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt no more be haughty in My holy mountain.
יב  וְהִשְׁאַרְתִּי בְקִרְבֵּךְ, עַם עָנִי וָדָל; וְחָסוּ, בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה.12 And I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of the LORD.
יג  שְׁאֵרִית יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא-יַעֲשׂוּ עַוְלָה, וְלֹא-יְדַבְּרוּ כָזָב, וְלֹא-יִמָּצֵא בְּפִיהֶם, לְשׁוֹן תַּרְמִית:  כִּי-הֵמָּה יִרְעוּ וְרָבְצוּ, וְאֵין מַחֲרִיד.  {פ}13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. {P}
יד  רָנִּי, בַּת-צִיּוֹן--הָרִיעוּ, יִשְׂרָאֵל; שִׂמְחִי וְעָלְזִי בְּכָל-לֵב, בַּת יְרוּשָׁלִָם.14 Sing, O daughter of Zion, shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.



כ  בָּעֵת הַהִיא אָבִיא אֶתְכֶם, וּבָעֵת קַבְּצִי אֶתְכֶם:  כִּי-אֶתֵּן אֶתְכֶם לְשֵׁם וְלִתְהִלָּה, בְּכֹל עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ, בְּשׁוּבִי אֶת-שְׁבוּתֵיכֶם לְעֵינֵיכֶם, אָמַר יְהוָה.  {ש}20 At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will make you to be a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I turn your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD
