| Zephaniah 3:8 | For this reason, go on waiting for me, says the Lord, till the day when I come up as a witness: for my purpose is to send for the nations and to get the kingdoms together, so that I may let loose on them my passion, even all my burning wrath: for all the earth will be burned up in the fire of my bitter passion. | Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. | |
| Zephaniah 3:9 | For then I will give the people a clean language, so that they may all make prayer to the Lord and be his servants with one mind. | For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. | |
