Notes

Zephaniah 3:9–13

The bright future described in these verses gives more reason to wait patiently for the Lord (Zephaniah 3:8). Like the prophets Isaiah, Nahum, and Habakkuk, Zephaniah uses judgment and hope as main themes.

Zephaniah 3:9–20

God shows his plans for a humble and pure group of his people (Zephaniah 3:9–13). He encourages them to rejoice in the coming abundant blessings from their saving Lord (Zephaniah 3:14–20).
