Zephaniah 3:8-10
International Standard Version
The Future Deliverance of Israel
8 “Just you wait!” declares the Lord.
“The day will come when I stand up as a prosecutor,[a]
for I am determined to assemble the nations
and to gather the kingdoms,
in order to pour out my indignation upon them—
all of my fierce anger.
All the earth will be consumed by the fire of my jealousy.
9 Indeed, then I will return my people to a pure language[b]
so that they all may call upon the name of the Lord,
serving him with a united will.[c]
10 “From beyond the rivers of Sudan[d] my worshipers[e]—
including my dispersed people—
will present offerings to me.
