Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zephaniah 1:4

I will also, Heb. And I will, or, And I have; so prophets speak of what shall most certainly be as if already done. Stretch out mine hand: this seems to intimate. some immediate stroke from God, he speaks so in Jeremiah 51:25; Ezekiel 6:14; Ezekiel 14:13; Ezekiel 25:13. Upon Judah; Benjamin is included, though Judah only is named. Upon all the inhabitants; it will be universal destruction of them, either by sword, famine, pestilence, or captivity; both citizens and sojourners, all shall perish,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zephaniah 1:5

And them that worship; those among the people that adhered to this idolatry. The host of heaven; the sun, moon, and stars, frequently in the Scripture called the host of heaven.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Zephaniah 1:1-18

It was known to the ancients that birds... read more
