Mmmm, minor prophets...

I suggest you read the book of Zephaniah, but in summary, shortly afer the prophet Zephaniah speaks of woe for Israel and the nations, God declares through him that He will leave a remnant of Israel among the people who will take refuge in the Lord. This is what follows:

Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion!
Shout in triumph, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
The LORD has taken away His judgments against you,
He has cleared away your enemies
The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst;
You will fear disaster no more.
In that day it will be said to Jerusalem:
"Do not be afraid, O Zion;
Do not let your hands fall limp.
"The LORD your God is in your midst,
A victorious warrior
He will exult over you with joy,
He will be quiet in His love,
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
-Zephaniah 3:14-17
