Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zephaniah 1:18

_ _ Neither ... silver nor ... gold shall ... deliver them, etc. — (Proverbs 11:4).

_ _ fire of his jealousy — (Ezekiel 38:19); His wrath jealous for His honor consuming the guilty like fire.

_ _ make even a speedy riddance of all — rather, a “consummation” (complete destruction: “full end,” Jeremiah 46:28; Ezekiel 11:13) “altogether sudden” [Maurer]. “A consumption, and that a sudden one” [Calvin].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zephaniah 1:14-18.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zephaniah 1:18

In the land — Therefore let not sinners be laid asleep by the patience of God; for when the measure of their iniquity is full, his justice will both overtake and overcome them, will make quick and thorough work.
