Zephaniah 3:14 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Zephaniah 3:14-20

After the promises of the taking away of sin, here follow promises of the taking away of trouble; for when the cause is removed the effect will cease. What makes a people holy will make them happy of course. The precious promises here made to the purified people were to have their full accomplishment in the comforts of the gospel, in the hope, and much more in the enjoyment, of which, they are here called upon, 1. To rejoice and sing (Zeph. 3:14): Sing, O daughter of Zion! sing for joy; Shout,... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zephaniah 3:14

Sing, O daughter of Zion ,.... The congregation of Zion, as the Targum; the church of Christ in Gospel times, which has great reason to sing and rejoice, because of the coming of Christ, redemption by him, and all other benefits and blessings of grace; because of the Gospel, and the ordinances of it, and the numbers of souls converted, both among Jews and Gentiles; especially the church in the latter day is here called upon to sing for joy, when the Jews will be converted; to which these... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Zephaniah 3:14

Verse 14 The Prophet confirms what he has been teaching, and encourages the faithful to rejoice, as though he saw with his eyes what he had previously promised. For thus the Prophets, while encouraging the faithful to entertain hope, stimulate them to testify their gratitude, as though God’s favor was already enjoyed. It is certain, that this instruction was set before the Jews for this purpose,—that in their exile and extreme distress they might yet prepare themselves to give thanks to God, as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zephaniah 3:9-20

Very remarkable is the way in which the most gracious promises are in this book interwoven, and, as it were, wrapped up in threatenings of judgment. This appears in Zephaniah 2:11 , where it is declared that the Lord shall be terrible to the nations that magnified themselves against his people, and shall famish all the gods of the earth, so depriving these nations of their fancied support and confidence; and then it is added that men shall worship him every one from his place, even all the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zephaniah 3:14

in view of the coming blessing, the prophet bursts forth in exultation, yet with a vein of prophecy running through all the canticle. After the late denunciation of woe and judgment, he soothes the faithful with the promise of the grace and peace which the time of Messiah shall bring. Sing, O daughter of Zion ( Isaiah 1:8 ; Zechariah 2:1-13 :14; Zechariah 9:9 ). He calls on the restored remnant of Judah to show its joy by outward tokens. O Israel. All the tribes are to unite in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zephaniah 3:14

Sing, O daughter of Sion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem - Very remarkable throughout all these verses is the use of the sacred number three, secretly conveying to the thoughtful soul the thought of Him, Father Son and Holy Spirit, the Holy and Undivided Trinity by whose operation these things shall be. Threefold is the description of their being freed from sins:(1) they shall “not do iniquity,”(2) “nor speak lies,”(3) “neither shall a deceitful... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Zephaniah 3:14-15

Zephaniah 3:14-15. Sing, O daughter of Zion At that time, O daughter of Zion, thou shalt break forth into loud and joyful praises to Jehovah, for his goodness toward thee; and thou mayest even now do it, for thou shalt certainly enjoy this prosperous state. The injunction here to Zion, to be thankful and joyful, is trebled, sing, shout, and rejoice, as it is elsewhere in both Testaments; and it is a sin for the people of God not to rejoice, as well as not to repent. Thus, after the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zephaniah 3:9-20

3:9-20 SALVATION FOR THE REPENTANTWhen all the sinners have been destroyed, the humble who have previously turned from their sin (see 2:1-3) will then enjoy a new life of peace and blessing. In the midst of judgment there is mercy for the repentant. Cleansed sinners from all nations will worship and serve God with pure hearts (9-10). No longer will Jerusalem be characterized by the pride, rebellion, dishonesty and deceit of Zephaniah’s day. Wrongdoing will be removed from the community of God’s... read more
