Therefore, wait for Me(A)
this is the Lord’s declaration—
until the day I rise up for plunder.[a]
For My decision is to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
in order to pour out My indignation(B) on them,
all My burning anger;
for the whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of My jealousy.(C)

Final Restoration Promised

For I will then restore
pure(D) speech to the peoples
so that all of them may call
on the name of Yahweh
and serve Him with a single purpose.[b]
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush(E)
My supplicants, My dispersed people,
will bring an offering to Me.
