Zephaniah 3:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

The Lord will make the people pure

⁹ ‘Then I will give to people lips that I have made pure.

With those lips, they will call me Lord.^[a]

And then, all the people will agree to work together for me.’

¹⁰ ‘Some people live a long way beyond the rivers of Cush.

Yes, my people who pray went away to many other countries.

They will return and they will carry their gifts to me.

¹¹ At that time, you will not have to be ashamed

of the wrong things that you have done against me.

But I will take away those who do not see anything wrong in themselves.

Those people will not call each other

“the people who live on God's holy mountain”.
