Zephaniah 3:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ “I will take away the sadness planned for you.
    It would have made you very ashamed.
¹⁹ At that time I will punish
    all those who harmed you.
I will save my people who are hurt.
    I will gather my people who are scattered.
I will give them praise and honor
    in every place where they were disgraced.
²⁰ At that time I will gather you.
    At that time I will bring you back home.
I will give you honor and praise
    from people everywhere.
That will happen when I give you back your riches.
    You will see this with your own eyes,” says the Lord.
