Zephaniah 2:3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek Here the prophet addresses some others, different from those addressed before, namely, the few pious, who still remained in Jerusalem and Judah amidst the general corruption; which have wrought his judgment Who have obeyed his laws, and done his will. Seek righteousness That is, continue to seek it; persevere in the practice of every branch of piety and virtue. Seek meekness Patiently wait on the holy and gracious God. It may be ye shall be hid, &c. That ye shall be protected and preserved by the divine providence, amidst the dangers and calamities of that dreadful time, when God shall execute his judgments.

Zephaniah 2:3

3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
