Zephaniah 3:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 I will purify each language
and make those languages
acceptable for praising me.[a]
Then, with hearts united,
everyone will serve
only me, the Lord.
10 From across the rivers
of Ethiopia,[b]
my scattered people,
my true worshipers,
will bring offerings to me.
11 When that time comes,
you won't rebel against me
and be put to shame.
I'll do away with those
who are proud and arrogant.
Never will any of them
strut around
on my holy mountain.
Zephaniah 3:9-11

that all of them may call(A) on the name of the Lord(B)
and serve(C) him shoulder to shoulder.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush[a](D)
my worshipers, my scattered people,
will bring me offerings.(E)
11 On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame(F)

your arrogant boasters.(H)

on my holy hill.(I)
