3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

jealousy.For then will I turn to the people a pure language,

that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.

Zephaniah 3: 8 & 9
