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.
Israel Will Trust in the Lord
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.
