Zephaniah 3:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ “Then, Jerusalem, you will no longer be ashamed of the wrong things your people do against me. That is because I will remove all the bad people from Jerusalem. I will take away all the proud people. There will not be any of them on my holy mountain.^{[a] 12} I will let only meek and humble people stay in my city, and they will trust the Lord’s name. ¹³ The survivors of Israel will not do bad things or tell lies. They will not try to trick people with lies. They will be like sheep that eat and lie down in peace—and no one will bother them.”
