Zephaniah 3:19

Context

3:19 Look, at that time I will deal with those who mistreated you.

I will rescue the lame sheep 1 

and gather together the scattered sheep.

I will take away their humiliation

and make the whole earth admire and respect them. 2 

1 tn The word “sheep” is supplied for clarification. As in Mic 4:6-7, the exiles are here pictured as injured and scattered sheep whom the divine shepherd rescues from danger.

2 tn Heb “I will make them into praise and a name, in all the earth, their shame.” The present translation assumes that “their shame” specifies “them” and that “name” stands here for a good reputation.
