At that time I will change the speech of the peoples
    to a pure speech,
that all of them may call on the name of the Lord
    and serve him with one accord.(A)
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush
    my suppliants, my scattered ones,
    shall bring my offering.(B)

11 On that day you shall not be put to shame
    because of all the deeds by which you have rebelled against me;
for then I will remove from your midst
    your proudly exultant ones,
and you shall no longer be haughty
    in my holy mountain.(C)
12 For I will leave in the midst of you
    a people humble and lowly.
They shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord(D)
13     the remnant of Israel;
they shall do no wrong
    and utter no lies,
nor shall a deceitful tongue
    be found in their mouths.
Then they will pasture and lie down,
    and no one shall make them afraid.(E)
