ゼパニヤ書 3:9 JCB

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Zephaniah 3:1-20

SO AS BY FIREZephaniah 3:1-20THE third chapter of the Book of Zephaniah consists of two sections, of which only the first, Zephaniah 3:1-13, is a genuine work of the prophet; while the second, Zephaniah 3:14-20, is a later epilogue such as we found added to the genuine prophecies of Amos. It is written in the large hope and brilliant temper of the Second Isaiah, saying no word of Judah’s sin or judgment, but predicting her triumphant deliverance out of all her afflictions.In a second address to... read more

CHAPTER 3:8-20 Judgment and Glory 1. The waiting for the end (Zephaniah 3:8 ) 2. The glory that follows (Zephaniah 3:9-20 ) Zephaniah 3:8 . “Therefore wait for me, saith Jehovah, for the day when I arise for the prey; for my determination is to gather the nations, to assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, all my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.” This verse leads us back to the opening exhortation of this chapter. They are... read more

3:9 For {g} then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.(g) Lest any should then think that God’s glory should have perished when Judah was destroyed, he shows that he will proclaim his grace through all the world. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Zephaniah 3:1-20

ZEPHANIAH DIVINE DEVASTATION AND PROMISE Little is known of the personal history of Zephaniah beyond the two facts in the first verse of his prophecy, the first bearing on his ancestry and the second on the period of his ministry. About fifty years have elapsed since Nahum, and Hezekiah has been succeeded by three of his descendants (see 2 Kings 20-21). Manasseh and Amon were idolatrous and wicked, but Josiah now upon the throne, is righteous and God-fearing. The story of his reign is in the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Zephaniah 3:1-20

The Candle of the Lord Zephaniah 1-3 "The word of the Lord which came unto Zephaniah" ( Zep 1:1 ). Observe that the prophets never professed to tell what word of the Lord came to anybody else. That is the vital point; that is the point which we have all forgotten. Read the introductions which the men themselves wrote: where do they find their texts? In the mouth of the Lord. When does any prophet arise to say, "I am going to preach to you to-day from the words of some other prophet?"... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Zephaniah 3:8-10

"Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, 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. (9) For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. (10) From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Zephaniah 3:9

Chosen. Symmachus, "pure." (Calmet) --- Idols shall not be mentioned. (Theodoret) --- All people shall know and adore the Lord, which was verified only after Christ's coming. (Calmet) --- Septuagint, "for then I will change again for the peoples, language to its own kind," (Haydock) which Origen, (contra Cels. viii.) and the Jews in St. Jerome, explain of the days of the Messias, when the confusion of Babel shall cease. But this is forced: it suffices that people unite in faith and obey the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Zephaniah 3:8-13

8-13 The preaching of the gospel is predicted, when vengeance would be executed on the Jewish nation. The purifying doctrines of the gospel, or the pure language of the grace of the Lord, would teach men to use the language of humility, repentance, and faith. Purity and piety in common conversation is good. The pure and happy state of the church in the latter days seems intended. The Lord will shut out boasting, and leave men nothing to glory in, save the Lord Jesus, as made of God to them... read more

The Salvation of the Daughter of Zion v. 8. Therefore wait ye upon Me, saith the Lord, this merciful invitation being extended to all who will still listen to His words, until the day that I rise up to the prey, when He pours out His wrath upon the nations; for My determination is to gather the nations, to carry out His punishment upon them, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them Mine indignation, even all My fierce anger, all the burning wrath which He has stored tip against... read more

THE SALVATIONZephaniah 3:8-20Zephaniah 3:8 Therefore wait for me is the saying of Jehovah,For the day when I rise up to the prey;1For it is my right to gather nations together,To assemble kingdoms;To pour upon them my fury,All the heat of my anger;For by the fire of my zealThe whole earth shall be consumed.9 For then I will turn to the nations a pure lip,That they may all call upon the name of Jehovah;That they may serve Him with one shoulder.210 From beyond the rivers of CushMy worshippers,3... read more
