Theme

Zephaniah 2 (15 verses in the MT) opens: Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; The middle of the chapter continues: I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified against their border. It closes: This the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I , and none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, wag his hand.

Translation & textual notes

The Hebrew base text here follows the Masoretic Text in the Leningrad tradition as represented by the Westminster Leningrad Codex / MorphHB diplomatic stream imported from OSHB; distinctively copyrighted apparatus from BHS or BHQ is not reproduced. Zephaniah 2 comprises 15 verses in MT order. Movement I (vv. 1-4) — Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;. Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; Before the decree bring forth, the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of YHWH come upon you, before the day of YHWH's anger come upon you. Seek you YHWH, all you meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be you shall be hid. Movement II (vv. 5-8) — Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites!. Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of YHWH against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy you, that there shall be no inhabitant. And the sea coast shall be dwellings cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall. Movement III (vv. 9-12) — Therefore I live, says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab sha. Therefore I live, says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them. This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and. Movement IV (vv. 13-15) — And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria;. And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, dry like a wilderness. And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; voice shall sing in the windows; desolation in the thresholds: for he.
