Through his prophet Zephaniah, God declared: “I shall certainly let remain in the midst of you a people humble and lowly, and they will actually take refuge in the name of Jehovah.... They will do no unrighteousness, nor speak a lie, nor will there be found in their mouths a tricky tongue;... and there will be no one making them tremble. ”
Oma prohveti Sefanja kaudu kuulutas Jumal: „Ma jätan su keskele alles vaese ja viletsa rahva, ja need otsivad pelgupaika Jehoova nimes!... [nad] ei tee ülekohut ega räägi valet ja nende suus ei leidu kavalat keelt... ja ükski ei peleta neid! ”.
