Zephaniah 3:19-20 NLT,NIV,ESV

The Pulpit Commentary - Zephaniah 3:20

Will I bring you again ( in ) . He repeats the promise with some slight verbal changes. I will lead you like a flock to the pastures of Zion. People; peoples. When I turn back your captivity; i.e. when God brings them all home into the spiritual Zion from which they were long exiled (but see note on Zephaniah 2:7 ; and comp. Hosea 6:11 ; Amos 9:14 ). Before your eyes. Most certainly and evidently, so that what they hoped for they shall plainly see ( Deuteronomy 1:30 ; ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zephaniah 3:19

Behold, at that time I will undo - (Literally, I deal with . While God punisheth not, He seemeth to sit still Isaiah 18:4, be silent Habakkuk 1:13, asleep Psalms 44:23. Then He shall act, He shall “deal” according to their deserts with “all,” evil men or devils, “that afflict thee,” His Church. The prophecy looked for a larger fulfillment than the destruction of Jerusalem, since the Romans who, in God’s Hands, avenged the blood of His saints, themselves were among those who “afflicted her.”... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zephaniah 3:20

At that time will I bring you in - that is, into the one fold, the one Church, the one “Household of God, even in the time that I gather you.” “That time” is the whole time of the Gospel; the one “day of salvation,” in which all who shall ever be gathered, shall be brought into the new Jerusalem. These words were fulfilled, when, at our Lord’s first Coming, the remnant, the true Israel, those “ordained to eternal life” were brought in. It shall be fulfilled again, when “the fullness of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Zephaniah 3:18-20

Zephaniah 3:18-20. I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly I will collect together those Israelites who are dispersed in their several captivities, both that of Babylon, and those of following times; who mourn for the loss of the public ordinances, and are grieved at the reproaches wherewith their enemies upbraid them, as if they were utterly forsaken of God. Behold Mark well; at that time I will undo all that afflict thee I will break the power, and dissolve the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zephaniah 3:9-20

3:9-20 SALVATION FOR THE REPENTANTWhen all the sinners have been destroyed, the humble who have previously turned from their sin (see 2:1-3) will then enjoy a new life of peace and blessing. In the midst of judgment there is mercy for the repentant. Cleansed sinners from all nations will worship and serve God with pure hearts (9-10). No longer will Jerusalem be characterized by the pride, rebellion, dishonesty and deceit of Zephaniah’s day. Wrongdoing will be removed from the community of God’s... read more

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zephaniah 3:20

"At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, saith Jehovah."Such a marvelous promise as that of Zephaniah 3:19 required the repetition of it, which is featured in the greater part of this verse; but perhaps it was for the sake of emphasizing "at that time," as the moment of fulfillment, which from all indications points far away to the times of... 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
