Zephaniah 3:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ So wait for me,

I will stand up and I will punish the nations.

I have decided to bring together the nations and the people that kings rule over.

Then I will punish them very, very much.

They will see how angry I am.

They will see it because, on that day, I will burn all the earth.’

That is what the Lord says.

The Lord will make the people pure

⁹ ‘Then I will give to people lips that I have made pure.

With those lips, they will call me Lord.^[a]

And then, all the people will agree to work together for me.’

¹⁰ ‘Some people live a long way beyond the rivers of Cush.

Yes, my people who pray went away to many other countries.

They will return and they will carry their gifts to me.
