Zephaniah 3:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 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)
