Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zephaniah 3:19

"Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save that which is lame, and gather that which was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth."This verse is addressed to the suffering saints of the new dispensation who continually suffer shame and contumely all over the earth; and if so, "at that time" would refer to the period of the final judgment upon the earth. It is most natural that the persecuted and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Zephaniah 3:19

Zephaniah 3:19. I will undo, &c.— I will oppress. Houbigant; who observes, that from the 13th verse to the end of the chapter, the prophet speaks of the last return and restoration of the Jews; as the former part respected the rising church of the Christians; for Sion and Jerusalem point out the Jewish nation, which shall not see evil any more, as they saw it in the last destruction of their city and state by the Romans. Instead of before your eyes, in the next verse, it should be read... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Zephaniah 3:19

19. undo—MAURER translates, "I will deal with," that is, as they deserve. Compare Ezekiel 23:25, where the Hebrew is similarly translated. The destruction of Israel's foes precedes Israel's restoration (Isaiah 66:15; Isaiah 66:16). her that halteth—all that are helpless. Their weakness will be no barrier in the way of My restoring them. So in Psalms 35:15, Margin, "halting" is used for adversity. Also Ezekiel 34:16; Micah 4:6; Micah 4:7. I will get them praise, &c.—literally, "I will make... read more

III. THE DAY OF YAHWEH’S BLESSING 3:9-20Having finished the revelation dealing with God’s judgment of the world in a coming day (Zephaniah 1:2 to Zephaniah 3:8), Zephaniah now announced that He would bring great blessing to all humankind after that judgment (Zephaniah 3:9-20). As in the section of the book on judgment, he revealed God’s plans for the Gentile nations briefly first and then spoke extensively about His plans for Israel."Why did the prophets consistently close their books with... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zephaniah 3:19-20

Having dealt with the Jews’ oppressors (cf. Zephaniah 3:8-15; Zephaniah 2:4-15; Genesis 12:3), the Lord will deliver even the weak and dispersed of His people and give them a worldwide reputation for goodness (cf. Deuteronomy 26:19). He will regather them in their land and give them a good reputation when He restores their fortunes (cf. Zephaniah 3:15; Genesis 12:1-7; Genesis 13:14-17; Genesis 15:7-21; Genesis 17:7-8; 2 Samuel 7:16; Psalms 89:3-4; Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 7:27).Zephaniah concluded... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Zephaniah 3:1-20

The Judgment upon the Evil Rulers of Jerusalem, and its ultimate Purification and RestorationLike Amos and Micah, the prophet sternly denounces the crimes of the ruling classes in Jerusalem, points out their ingratitude to Jehovah, and announces the doom that is inevitable. The gloom of the opening vv. is dispelled, however, by the hopes of restoration which appear to reflect a later age. Zephaniah 3:9-10, Zephaniah 3:14-20 have the exultant ring of Isaiah 40-55.1. Her that is filthy and... read more
