Zephaniah 3:16 in Context — Zephaniah 3

14 Pousse des cris de joie, fille de Sion! Pousse des cris d’allégresse, Israël! Réjouis-toi et triomphe de tout ton cœur, fille de Jérusalem!

15 L’Éternel a détourné tes châtiments, Il a éloigné ton ennemi; Le roi d’Israël, l’Éternel, est au milieu de toi; Tu n’as plus de malheur à éprouver.

16 En ce jour-là, on dira à Jérusalem: Ne crains rien! Sion, que tes mains ne s’affaiblissent pas!

17 L’Éternel, ton Dieu, est au milieu de toi, comme un héros qui sauve; Il fera de toi sa plus grande joie; Il gardera le silence dans son amour; Il aura pour toi des transports d’allégresse.

18 Je rassemblerai ceux qui sont dans la tristesse, loin des fêtes solennelles, Ceux qui sont sortis de ton sein; L’opprobre pèse sur eux.
