ZEPHANIAH 3:17 thine hands be slack. P 17 The 1 LORD thy 2 GOD in the 3 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. P 18 4 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden. P 19 4 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; 5 and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. P 20 4 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captiv- ity before your eyes, saith the LORD. P
