Notes

Zephaniah 3:17

mighty to save: God served as Israel’s divine warrior and redeemer (see Psalm 24:8–10; Isaiah 42:13; Habakkuk 3:8–15). One of God’s titles is “the Mighty God” (Isaiah 10:21). This title also refers to the Messiah (Isaiah 9:6).
He will rejoice over you: Jerusalem and all Israel will rejoice in God (Zephaniah 3:14), and God will rejoice over them as a purified and faithful people (see 3:12–13).

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).
