Zephaniah 3:2 - Exposition.

The voice; i.e. of God, as heard in the Law and at the mouth of his prophets (comp. Jeremiah 7:24 , etc.; Jeremiah 9:13 ). Received not correction. They took not to heart the chastisements sent upon them, and did not profit by them. She trusted not in the Lord, but in man. When danger threatened, she relied on human aid, made alliances with the heathen, or else had recourse to idols and prayed for help to false gods, as the next clause complains. She drew not near to her God. She broke the covenant which she had made, would not avail herself of the privilege bestowed upon her, and had no intercourse with the Lord in prayer and worship.
