Zephaniah 2:3 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Seek ye the Lord; turn to him with sound and true repentance, pray for pardon, engage in new obedience, inquire in the law what is your duty, and do it; fear, worship, depend on the Lord alone. All ye meek; ye humble ones, who have not hardened yourselves with the stubborn, proud, idolatrous hypocrites, but have trembled at the word of the Lord. Of the earth; of Judea, which is here spoken of, as Zephaniah 1:2. Which have wrought his judgment; obeyed his precepts; so doth the Scripture express obedience to the law of God by doing judgment, Deuteronomy 4:5 Psalms 119:121. Seek righteousness; inquire and know the righteousness which God commandeth, which you ought to persist in, and continue ye in it. Seek meekness; carry it humbly towards God, and patiently under his corrections; so wait on the just and merciful God. It may be: this is sufficient to raise hope; if it be not sure, if it be hard, yet it is not impossible. Ye shall be hid; under the wing of Divine protecting Providence kept safe from, or in, these troubles they shall be either averted or abated.

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.
