Zephaniah - 3:1 Meaning

“Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:1-7 The holy God hates sin most in those nearest to him. A sinful state is, and will be, a woful state. Yet they had the tokens of God's presence, and all the advantages of knowing his will, with the strongest reasons to do it; still they persisted in disobedience. Alas, that men often are more active in doing wickedness than believers are in doing good.

“The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.”
