Zephaniah
Zephaniah 3:11–12
11On that day you will not be put to shame
for any of the deeds
by which you have transgressed against Me.
For then I will remove from among you
those who rejoice in their pride,
and you will never again be haughty
on My holy mountain.
12But I will leave within you a meek and humble people,
and they will trust in the name of the LORD.
