Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Zephaniah 3:15

(15) Taken away thy judgments.—i.e., removed what He had “appointed concerning them” (Zephaniah 3:7) in the way of punishments.The king of Israel.—The recognition of Jehovah as king is elsewhere a prominent feature in the portraiture of the extended dispensation. Thus we have, “Say among the heathen that Jehovah is king” (Psalms 96:10). “Jehovah is king” (Psalms 93:1; Psalms 97:1; Psalms 99:1). “The kingdom shall be Jehovah’s” (Obadiah 1:21). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Zephaniah 3:17

(17) He will rest . . .—Better, He will keep silence in His love; He will exult over thee with a shout of joy. Unutterable yearnings and outbursts of jubilant affection are both the expressions of sexual love. By a bold anthropomorphism, both are attributed to the Heavenly Bridegroom, as He gazes on “a glorious Church . . . holy, and without blemish.” read more

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

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
