Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Zephaniah 2:8-15

"I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border. (9) Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them. (10) This shall they have for... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Zephaniah 2:4-15

4-15 Those are really in a woful condition who have the word of the Lord against them, for no word of his shall fall to the ground. God will restore his people to their rights, though long kept from them. It has been the common lot of God's people, in all ages, to be reproached and reviled. God shall be worshipped, not only by all Israel, and the strangers who join them, but by the heathen. Remote nations must be reckoned with for the wrongs done to God's people. The sufferings of the insolent... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Zephaniah 2:8-15

The Door of Moab, Amman, and Assyria v. 8. I have heard the reproach of Moab, Cf Jeremiah 48:27, and the revilings of the children of Amman, the two nations east of Jordan and of the Dead Sea, which were related to the children of Israel, but later became the enemies of God's people and made known their hostility in bitter blasphemies, whereby they have reproached my people, in proud mockery and scorn, and magnified themselves against their border, acted violently against the boundary of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Zephaniah 2:1-15

Meekness Saves, Pride Destroys Zephaniah 2:1-15 The nation, on the whole, had no remorse, no desire for God; but there were a few meek and lowly souls, and the hope was held out to them that they would be hidden from the coming overthrow. God discriminates in His judgments, and sends His angels to conduct Lot out of Sodom. The judgment of the surrounding nations occupies Zephaniah 2:4-15 . Philistia, Moab, Amnion, Ethiopia and Assyria, are mentioned. God never forgets the treatment meted out... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Zephaniah 2:1-15

After this declaration, the prophet uttered his great appeal, first to the nation as a whole, calling on it to pull itself together before the opportunity for repentance should pass, before the hour of judgment should arrive. As though conscious that that larger appeal would be unavailing, he turned to the remnant, to such as were the "meek of the earth," and urged them to renewed devotion. This appeal he enforced by argument, in which he again set forth the fact of the coming judgment on the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Zephaniah 2:8-11

Moab and Ammon (Zephaniah 2:8-11 ). Zephaniah 2:8 “I have heard the reproach of Moab, And the revilings of the children of Ammon, With which they have reproached my people, And magnified themselves against their border.” Judgment is to come on Moab and Ammon, not only because of their sinfulness, but also particularly because of their attitude and antagonism towards God’s people. Note that their sin is reproach and revilings, not invasion, although they are clearly threatening the border.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Zephaniah 2:8-10

Zephaniah 2:8-2 Samuel : . Into the natural context of the passage a later writer has woven a prophecy of vengeance on Moab and Ammon for their revilings and insults heaped upon Judah (on the day of Jerusalem’ s downfall), For this their land shall become waste as Sodom and Gomorrah, a perpetual desolation, overrun by nettles and saltpits, while the remnant of Judah shall plunder them and hold them in bondage. Zephaniah 2:9 . a possession: an obscure word, probably meaning “ inherited... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zephaniah 2:10

This shall they have; this grievous ruin like Sodom’s, this just retaliation; they insulted over Israel, Israel shall tread on them. For their pride; haughty mind and carriage: see Zephaniah 2:8. Reproached; defamed, spoken lies and scandals against the Jews, lessening them. Magnified themselves; their persons and exploits. Against the people of the Lord of hosts; against the only people of the Lord of hosts, who suffered reproach with his people and in them, for Moabites and Ammonites, as... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Zephaniah 2:8-11

CRITICAL NOTES.] Zephaniah 2:8. Moab] and Ammon rejoiced in the calamity of the Jews.
