Zephaniah 3:14–18

Israel's Joy and Restoration

[14] Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion;

shout, O Israel!

Rejoice and exult with all your heart,

O daughter of Jerusalem!

[15] The LORD has taken away the judgments against you;

he has cleared away your enemies.

The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst;

you shall never again fear evil.

[16] On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:

“Fear not, O Zion;

let not your hands grow weak.

[17] The LORD your God is in your midst,

a mighty one who will save;

he will rejoice over you with gladness;

he will quiet you by his love;

he will exult over you with loud singing.

[18] I will gather those of you who mourn for the festival,

so that you will no longer suffer reproach. (ESV)
