Zephaniah 3:16-18
New International Reader's Version
16 The time is coming when people will say to Jerusalem,
“Zion, don’t be afraid.
Don’t give up.
17 The Lord your God is with you.
He is the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you.
In his love he will no longer punish you.
Instead, he will sing for joy because of you.”
18 The Lord says to his people,
“You used to celebrate my appointed feasts in Jerusalem.
You are sad because you can’t do that anymore.
Other people make fun of you because of that.
That sadness was a heavy load for you to carry.
But I will remove that load from you.
