HEBREW ALEPHBET
Zephaniyah 3:8 includes every letter of the Hebrew Alephbet including the five final forms. With this understanding the verse speaks of YHWH's desire to turn the peoples to a pure language!
Below the first time each of them appears is in bold.
ח לָכֵן חַכּוּ-לִי נְאֻם-יְהוָה, לְיוֹם קוּמִי לְעַד: כִּי מִשְׁפָּטִי לֶאֱסֹף גּוֹיִם לְקָבְצִי מַמְלָכוֹת, לִשְׁפֹּךְ עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמִי כֹּל חֲרוֹן אַפִּי--כִּי בְּאֵשׁ קִנְאָתִי, תֵּאָכֵל כָּל-הָאָרֶץ.
Therefore wait ye for Me, saith YHWH, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for My determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them Mine indignation, even all My fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.
ט כִּי-אָז אֶהְפֹּךְ אֶל-עַמִּים, שָׂפָה בְרוּרָה, לִקְרֹא כֻלָּם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה, לְעָבְדוֹ שְׁכֶם אֶחָד.
For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of YHWH, to serve Him with one consent.

These are some of the meanings of the letters. When the letters form words they in turn form word pictures.
When the Aleph joins the Beyt, you have Aleph Beyt which is Hebrew AB for Father. Looking at the meanings and combining the Aleph (Strength) to the Beyt (Home) you end up with the word picture of what a father is.
AB (Father) = the Strength/Leader of the Home.
Notice that the very first two letters of the Hebrew AlephBet form Father. We know that our heavenly Father is first!
Our Heavenly Father wants to be the Strength and Leader of our Homes! AMEN!!
Hebrew is a divine language. The words are significant and not by accident. It is Lashon Haqodesh- THE HOLY LANGUAGE.
