On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame for all the wrongs

 Zephaniah 3:1-20

Of Jerusalem I thought, ‘Surely you will fear me and accept correction!’ Then her place of refuge would not be destroyed, nor all my punishments come upon her. But they were still eager to act corruptly in all they did.

I have decided to assemble the nations, to gather the kingdoms and to pour out my wrath on them—   all my fierce anger. The whole world will be consumed by the fire of my jealous anger.

On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame for all the wrongs you have done to me, because I will remove from you your arrogant boasters. Never again will you be haughty on my holy hill. But I will leave within you the meek and humble. The remnant of Israel will trust in the name of the Lord. They will do no wrong; they will tell no lies. A deceitful tongue will not be found in their mouths. They will eat and lie down and no one will make them afraid.”

On that day they will say to Jerusalem, “Do not fear, Zion; do not let your hands hang limp.
17 The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

Why?

The Lord punished the corrupt men in all they did. But the mercy of the Lord comes upon the remaining people, remove them from their arrogant boasters.

The punishment comes upon God's people for they are eager to act corruptly. But the Lord will remove the deceitful tongue from his people.

How?

Keep reminding me, and pray for the Holy Spirit to come upon me. Fo I need the Holy Spirit to serve the Lord.
