Notes

Zephaniah 3:18

I will gather … no longer suffer reproach: The Lord's promise is very different from the warnings at the start of the book. First, God threatened to gather the nations to remove the people of Judah from the earth (Zephaniah 1:2–4). Now, he promises to gather those exiled from Jerusalem and lead them safely home.

Zephaniah 3:18–20

The repeated use of I will in these verses emphasises God's promises to his people.

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).
