Zephaniah 3:17 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city!
2 She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she does not draw near to her God.
3 Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves that leave nothing till the morning.
4 Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men; her priests profane what is holy; they do violence to the law.
5 The LORD within her is righteous; he does no injustice; every morning he shows forth his justice; each dawn he does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame.
6 "I have cut off nations; their battlements are in ruins; I have laid waste their streets so that no one walks in them; their cities have been made desolate, without a man, without an inhabitant.
7 I said, 'Surely you will fear me; you will accept correction. Then your dwelling would not be cut off according to all that I have appointed against you.' But all the more they were eager to make all their deeds corrupt.
8 "Therefore wait for me," declares the LORD, "for the day when I rise up to seize the prey. For my decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them my indignation, all my burning anger; for in the fire of my jealousy all the earth shall be consumed.
9 "For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of the LORD and serve him with one accord.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush my worshipers, the daughter of my dispersed ones, shall bring my offering.
11 "On that day you shall not be put to shame because of the deeds by which you have rebelled against me; for then I will remove from your midst your proudly exultant ones, and you shall no longer be haughty in my holy mountain.
12 But I will leave in your midst a people humble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in the name of the LORD,
13 those who are left in Israel; they shall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue. For they shall graze and lie down, and none shall make them afraid."
14 Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The LORD has taken away the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; you shall never again fear evil.
16 On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: "Fear not, O Zion; let not your hands grow weak.
17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
18 I will gather those of you who mourn for the festival, so that you will no longer suffer reproach.
19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth.
20 At that time I will bring you in, at the time when I gather you together; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes," says the LORD.
1 Woe H1945 to her that is filthy H4784 and polluted H1351 , to the oppressing H3238 city H5892 D-GFS !

3 Her princes H8269 within H7130 her are roaring H7580 lions H738 ; her judges H8199 VQCMS-3FS are evening H6153 NUM-MS wolves H2061 ; they gnaw not the bones H1633 till the morrow H1242 .
4 Her prophets H5030 are light H6348 and treacherous H900 persons H376 : her priests H3548 have polluted H2490 the sanctuary H6944 , they have done violence H2554 to the law H8451 .
5 The just H6662 AMS LORD H3068 EDS is in the midst H7130 thereof ; he will not H3808 NADV do H6213 VQY3MS iniquity H5766 NFS : every morning H1242 B-NMS doth he bring H5414 VHFA his judgment H4941 to light H216 L-NMS , he faileth H5737 not H3808 NADV ; but the unjust H5767 NMS knoweth H3045 VQPMS no H3808 ADV shame H1322 .
6 I have cut off H3772 the nations H1471 NMP : their towers H6438 are desolate H8074 VNQ3MP ; I made their streets waste H2717 , that none H1097 M-NPAR passeth by H5674 : their cities H5892 are destroyed H6658 , so that there is no H1097 M-NPAR man H376 NMS , that there is none H369 inhabitant H3427 .
7 I said H559 VQQ1MS , Surely H389 ADV thou wilt fear H3372 me , thou wilt receive H3947 instruction H4148 ; so their dwelling H4583 should not H3808 W-NPAR be cut off H3772 VNI3MS , howsoever H3605 NMS I punished H6485 them : but H403 ADV they rose early H7925 , and corrupted H7843 all H3605 NMS their doings H5949 .
8 Therefore H3651 L-ADV wait H2442 ye upon me , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , until the day H3117 L-NMS that I rise up H6965 to the prey H5706 : for H3588 CONJ my determination H4941 CMS-1MS is to gather H622 the nations H1471 NMP , that I may assemble H6908 the kingdoms H4467 , to pour H8210 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them mine indignation H2195 , even all H3605 NMS my fierce H2740 CMS anger H639 CMS-1MS : for H3588 CONJ all H3605 NMS the earth H776 D-GFS shall be devoured H398 with the fire H784 of my jealousy H7068 .
9 For H3588 CONJ then H227 ADV will I turn H2015 to H413 PREP the people H5971 NMP a pure H1305 language H8193 NFS , that they may all H3605 call H7121 upon the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , to serve H5647 him with one H259 ONUM consent H7926 CMS .
10 From beyond H5676 M-CMS the rivers H5104 of Ethiopia H3568 EMS my suppliants H6282 , even the daughter H1323 CFS of my dispersed H6327 , shall bring H2986 mine offering H4503 .
11 In that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS shalt thou not H3808 NADV be ashamed H954 for all H3605 M-CMS thy doings H5949 , wherein H834 RPRO thou hast transgressed H6586 against me : for H3588 CONJ then H227 ADV I will take away H5493 VHY1MS out of the midst H7130 of thee them that rejoice H5947 in thy pride H1346 , and thou shalt no H3808 ADV more H3254 be haughty H1361 because of my holy H6944 mountain H2022 .
12 I will also leave H7604 in the midst H7130 of thee an afflicted H6041 AMS and poor H1800 people H5971 NMS , and they shall trust H2620 in the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
13 The remnant H7611 of Israel H3478 shall not H3808 ADV do H6213 iniquity H5766 NFS , nor H3808 W-NADV speak H1696 lies H3577 ; neither H3808 ADV shall a deceitful H8649 tongue H3956 L-CMS be found H4672 in their mouth H6310 B-CMS-3MP : for H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP shall feed H7462 VQY3MP and lie down H7257 , and none H369 W-NPAR shall make them afraid H2729 .

15 The LORD H3068 EDS hath taken away H5493 VHQ3MS thy judgments H4941 , he hath cast out H6437 thine enemy H341 : the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 , even the LORD H3068 EDS , is in the midst H7130 of thee : thou shalt not H3808 NADV see H7200 evil H7451 AMS any more H5750 ADV .
