ZEPHANIAH
[III
- For then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride,
- And thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
- I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people,
- And they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
- The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies;
- Neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth:
- For they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
- Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel;
- Be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
- The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy:
- The king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee:
- Thou shalt not see evil any more.
- In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not:
- And to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
- The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;
- He will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy;
- He will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
