NETBible

Know for sure that I will then enable the nations to give me acceptable praise.¹ All of them will invoke the Lord’s name when they pray,² and will worship him in unison.³

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “Certainly [or perhaps, “For”] then I will restore to the nations a pure lip.”

¹sn I will then enable the nations to give me acceptable praise. This apparently refers to a time when the nations will reject their false idol-gods and offer genuine praise to the one true God.

²tn Heb “so that all of them will call on the name of the Lord.”

³tn Heb “so that [they] will serve him [with] one shoulder.”
