8 Therefore, wait for me 3:8 Jb 3:21; Ps 33:20; Is 8:17; 30:18; 64:4 —
this is the Lord’s declaration —
until the day I rise up for plunder. 3:8 LXX, Syr read for a witness; Vg reads up forever
For my decision is to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
in order to pour out my indignation 3:8 Ps 69:24; Ezk 21:31; 22:31; Nah 1:6 on them,
all my burning anger;
for the whole earth will be consumed
by the fire of my jealousy. 3:8 Dt 29:20; Ps 79:5; Zch 1:14; 8:2
Final Restoration Promised
9 For I will then restore
pure 3:9 Dn 12:10 speech to the peoples
so that all of them may call
on the name of the Lord
and serve him with a single purpose. 3:9 Lit with one shoulder
