Zephaniah 3:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ The time is coming when people will say to Jerusalem,
    “Zion, don’t be afraid.
    Don’t give up.
¹⁷ The Lord your God is with you.
    He is the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you.
    In his love he will no longer punish you.
    Instead, he will sing for joy because of you.”
