Zephaniah 3:5-7
_ _ The Jews regard not God’s justice manifested in the midst of them, nor His judgments on the guilty nations around.
_ _ The just Lord — Why then are ye so unjust?
_ _ is in the midst thereof — He retorts on them their own boast, “Is not the Lord among us” (Micah 3:11)? True He is, but it is for another end from what ye think [Calvin]; namely, to lead you by the example of His righteousness to be righteous. Leviticus 19:2, “Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy” [Maurer]. But Calvin, “That ye may feel His hand to be the nearer for taking vengeance for your crimes: ‘He will not do iniquity’ by suffering your sins to go unpunished” (Deuteronomy 32:4).
_ _ every morning — literally, “morning by morning.” The time in the sultry East for dispensing justice.
_ _ bring ... to light — publicly and manifestly by the teaching of His prophets, which aggravates their guilt; also by samples of His judgments on the guilty.
_ _ he faileth not — He is continually setting before you samples of His justice, sparing no pains. Compare Isaiah 5:4; Isaiah 50:4, “he wakeneth morning by morning.”
_ _ knoweth no shame — The unjust Jews are not shamed by His justice into repentance. |
Zephaniah 3:5
In the midst — Observing all. Not do iniquity — He will judge them righteously. Every morning — Daily he discovers his displeasure against the wicked. Faileth not — Lets no season slip to convince them, by public and visible punishments. The unjust — But the wicked Jews proceed without shame, and without fear. |
Zephaniah 3:5
The (c) just LORD [is] in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
(c) The wicked thus boasted that God was ever among them, but the Prophet answers that that cannot excuse their wickedness: for God will not bear with their sins. Yet he did patiently abide and sent his Prophets continually to call them to repentance, but he profited nothing. |
