Zephaniah 3:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ So wait for me to come as judge,”
    announces the Lord.
“Wait for the day I will stand up
    to witness against all sinners.
I have decided to gather the nations.
    I will bring the kingdoms together.
And I will pour out all my burning anger on them.
    The fire of my jealous anger
    will burn the whole world up.

⁹ “But then I will purify what all the nations say.
    And they will use their words to worship me.
    They will serve me together.
¹⁰ My scattered people will come to me
    from beyond the rivers of Cush.
They will worship me.
    They will bring me offerings.
