For then I will change them to peoples with (A)purified lips,
That all of them may (B)call on the name of Yahweh,
To serve Him [a]shoulder to shoulder.
10 From beyond the rivers of [b](C)Ethiopia
My [c]worshipers, [d]My scattered ones,
Will (D)bring My offerings.
11 In that day you will (E)feel no shame
Because of all your deeds
By which you have transgressed against Me;
For then I will remove from your midst
Your (F)proud, exulting ones,
And you will never again be haughty
On My (G)holy mountain.
12 But I will cause to remain in your midst
A [e](H)lowly and poor people,
And they will (I)take refuge in the name of Yahweh.
13 The (J)remnant of Israel will (K)do no injustice
And (L)not speak falsehood,
Nor will a deceitful tongue
Be found in their mouths;
For they will (M)feed and lie down
With no one to make them tremble.”
