The words “I will purify the lips of the peoples”
열방의 입술을 깨끗케 하리라는 말
Zephaniah 3:9–13: the text says, “For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the LORD’s name, to serve him shoulder to shoulder. From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering. In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out from among you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be arrogant in my holy mountain. But I will leave among you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the LORD’s name. The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.” These verses carry no formula naming who speaks; WEB sets them inside the quotation it opens at 3:8 and closes at the end of 3:13. The Korean Revised Version reads at 3:9 나 여호와의 이름을, in the LORD’s first person, where WEB reads “the LORD’s name”.
