Zephaniah 3:12

Humility Faith Protection and safety Poverty and the vulnerable

¹⁰ From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people, will bring Me an offering.

¹¹ On that day you will not be put to shame for any of the deeds by which you have transgressed against Me. For then I will remove from among you those who rejoice in their pride, and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain.

But I will leave within you a meek and humble people, and they will trust in the name of the LORD.

¹³ The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or speak lies, nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. But they will feed and lie down, with no one to make them tremble.”

¹⁴ Sing for joy, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem!

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
