Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zephaniah 3:16

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zephaniah 3:17

"Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing."(See the comment under Zephaniah 3:16, which is also applicable here.)

17. he will rest in his love—content with it as His supreme delight (compare Luke 15:7; Luke 15:10) [CALVIN], (Isaiah 62:5; Isaiah 65:19). Or, He shall be silent, namely as to thy faults, not imputing them to thee [MAURER] (Psalms 32:2; Ezekiel 33:16). I prefer explaining it of that calm silent joy in the possession of the object of one's love, too great for words to express: just as God after the six days of creation rested with silent satisfaction in His work, for "behold it was very good"... read more
