Zephaniah 3:8-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 Therefore, wait for Me(A)—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
until the day I rise up for plunder.[a]
For My decision is to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
in order to pour out My indignation(B) on them,
all My burning anger;
for the whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of My jealousy.(C)
Final Restoration Promised
9 For I will then restore
pure(D) speech to the peoples
so that all of them may call
on the name of Yahweh
and serve Him with a single purpose.[b]
