Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zephaniah 3:15

_ _ The cause for joy: “The Lord hath taken away thy judgments,” namely, those sent by Him upon thee. After the taking away of sin (Zephaniah 3:13) follows the taking away of trouble. When the cause is removed, the effect will cease. Happiness follows in the wake of holiness.

_ _ the Lord is in the midst of thee — Though He seemed to desert thee for a time, He is now present as thy safeguard (Zephaniah 3:17).

_ _ not see evil any more — Thou shalt not experience it (Jeremiah 5:12; Jeremiah 44:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zephaniah 3:14-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zephaniah 3:15

Taken away — Abolished, and put an end to the judgments thy sins brought upon thee. Thine enemy — The Babylonian. Is in the midst — He is returned to redeem and govern thee. Any more — While thy carriage is as becomes my presence with thee, thou shalt neither fear, nor feel the like evils.

(k) That is, the punishment for your sin.

(l) As the Assyrians, Chaldaeans, Egyptians, and other nations.
