First Reading for Common of Holy Men and Women

Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13

This reading can be used when it is not the Easter season.

Summary: God will protect the humble and just, leaving a remnant who trust in him. They will live in peace, free from lies and harm.

The Humble Will Find Refuge

Seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth, who have observed his law; seek justice, seek humility; perhaps you may be sheltered on the day of the LORD’s anger.

But I will leave as a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly, who shall take refuge in the name of the LORD: the remnant of Israel.

They shall do no wrong and speak no lies; nor shall there be found in their mouths a deceitful tongue; they shall pasture and couch their flocks with none to disturb them.
