Zephaniah 3:9 in Context — Zephaniah 3
7 Je disais: Si du moins tu voulais me craindre, Avoir égard à la correction, Ta demeure ne serait pas détruite, Tous les châtiments dont je t’ai menacée n’arriveraient pas; Mais ils se sont hâtés de pervertir toutes leurs actions.
8 Attendez-moi donc, dit l’Éternel, Au jour où je me lèverai pour le butin, Car j’ai résolu de rassembler les nations, De rassembler les royaumes, Pour répandre sur eux ma fureur, Toute l’ardeur de ma colère; Car par le feu de ma jalousie tout le pays sera consumé.
9 Alors je donnerai aux peuples des lèvres pures, Afin qu’ils invoquent tous le nom de l’Éternel, Pour le servir d’un commun accord.
10 D’au-delà des fleuves de l’Éthiopie Mes adorateurs, mes dispersés, m’apporteront des offrandes.
11 En ce jour-là, tu n’auras plus à rougir de toutes tes actions Par lesquelles tu as péché contre moi; Car alors j’ôterai du milieu de toi ceux qui triomphaient avec arrogance, Et tu ne t’enorgueilliras plus sur ma montagne sainte.
