Zephaniah 3:14
12 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.”
Sing for joy, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The LORD has taken away your punishment; He has turned back your enemy. Israel’s King, the LORD, is among you; no longer will you fear any harm.
16 On that day they will say to Jerusalem: “Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands fall limp.
