3:8 Therefore you must wait patiently 1 for me,” says the Lord,
“for the day when I attack and take plunder. 2
I have decided 3 to gather nations together
and assemble kingdoms,
so I can pour out my fury on them –
all my raging anger.
For 4 the whole earth will be consumed
by my fiery anger.
3:9 Know for sure that I will then enable
the nations to give me acceptable praise. 5
All of them will invoke the Lord’s name when they pray, 6
and will worship him in unison. 7
