Zephaniah 3:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Zephaniah 3:8

6 “I have cut off nations,
Their fortresses are devastated;
I have made their streets desolate,
With none passing by.
Their cities are destroyed;
There is no one, no inhabitant.

7 ^aI said, ‘Surely you will fear Me,
You will receive instruction’—
So that her dwelling would not be cut off,
Despite everything for which I punished her.
But¹ they rose early and ^bcorrupted all their deeds.

A Faithful Remnant

8 “Therefore ^await for Me,” says the Lord,
“Until the day I rise up¹ for plunder;
My determination is to ^bgather the nations
To My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation,
All My fierce anger;
All the earth ^cshall be devoured
With the fire of My jealousy.

9 “For then I will restore to the peoples ^aa pure language,
That they all may call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him with one accord.

10 ^aFrom beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
My worshipers,
The daughter of My dispersed ones,
Shall bring My offering.

11 In that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds
In which you transgress against Me;
For then I will take away from your midst
Those who ^arejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty
In My holy mountain.
