Zephaniah 3:19-20

Israel's Joy and Restoration

¹⁹ Behold, at that time _q I will deal
with all your oppressors.
And _r I will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change _s their shame into _t praise
and renown in all the earth.
²⁰ _u At that time I will bring you in,
at the time when I gather you together;
for I will make you renowned and praised
among all the peoples of the earth,
_v when I restore your fortunes
before your eyes," says the Lord.
