8“Therefore wait for Me,” declares the Lord,

“For the day when I rise up as a witness.

Indeed, My decision is to gather nations,

To assemble kingdoms,

To pour out on them My indignation,

All My burning anger;

For all the earth will be devoured

By the fire of My zeal.

9“For then I will restore to the peoples pure lips,

So that all of them may call on the name of the Lord,

To serve Him shoulder to shoulder.

10“From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia

My worshipers, My dispersed ones,

Will bring My offerings.

11“On that day you will feel no shame

Because of all your deeds

By which you have rebelled against Me;

For then I will remove from your midst

Your proud, arrogant ones,

And you will never again be haughty

On My holy mountain.

12“But I will leave among you

A humble and lowly people,

And they will take refuge in the name of the Lord.

13“The remnant of Israel will do no wrong

And tell no lies,

Nor will a deceitful tongue

Be found in their mouths;

For they will feed and lie down

With no one to frighten them.”
