Zephaniah 3:18-20
EasyEnglish Bible
18 I will bring together those people among you who want to meet together again.
You want to meet again to pray. And you want to meet again to praise God.
You have had enough cruel words from your enemies.
19 Look! At that time, I will punish
all those people who hurt you.
I will save those who cannot walk well.
I will bring back the people that the enemy has sent away.
I will cause people in every country to know about you. I will cause them to praise you.
20 At that time, I will bring you back to your home.
I will bring you back together.
I will give you a good name among all the people on the earth.
That is what I will do. I will stop your troubles. And you will see it happen.’
That is what the Lord says.

Zephaniah 3:18-20
New International Version
18 “I will remove from you
all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals,
which is a burden and reproach for you.
19 At that time I will deal
with all who oppressed(A) you.
I will rescue the lame;
I will gather the exiles.(B)
I will give them praise(C) and honor
in every land where they have suffered shame.
20 At that time I will gather you;
at that time I will bring(D) you home.
I will give you honor(E) and praise(F)
among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes[a](G)
before your very eyes,”
says the Lord.
