Zephaniah 3:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ People of Zion, sing!
    Israel, shout loudly!
People of Jerusalem, be glad!
    Let your hearts be full of joy.
¹⁵ The Lord has stopped punishing you.
    He has made your enemies turn away from you.
The Lord is the King of Israel.
    He is with you.
You will never again be afraid
    that others will harm you.
¹⁶ The time is coming when people will say to Jerusalem,
    “Zion, don’t be afraid.
    Don’t give up.
