Zephaniah 3:18-20
Living Bible
17-18 For the Lord your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty Savior. He will give you victory. He will rejoice over you with great gladness; he will love you and not accuse you.” Is that a joyous choir I hear? No, it is the Lord himself exulting over you in happy song.
“I have gathered your wounded and taken away your reproach. 19 And I will deal severely with all who have oppressed you. I will save the weak and helpless ones, and bring together those who were chased away. I will give glory to my former exiles, mocked and shamed.
20 “At that time, I will gather you together and bring you home again, and give you a good name, a name of distinction among all the peoples of the earth, and they will praise you when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes,” says the Lord.

18 “I will remove from you
all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals,
which is a burden and reproach for you.

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.
