See also "The Chapters of Zephaniah" by Harold Willmington

where Zephaniah outlines ...

II. THE GLORIOUS DAY (3:9-20): Zephaniah proclaims justice.

A. To the Gentiles (3:9): Their many languages will be unified and purified, thus allowing all people

to worship God together.

B. To the Jews (3:10-20)

1. Their regathering (3:10, 19-20a)

2. Their restoring (3:20b)

3. Their refining (3:11-13)

4. Their rejoicing (3:14-18): God himself will join in their happy song.

And this is Our Good News O' Israel; we who prescribed to God what we wanted from His Messiah, we who mistakenly proclaimed to the poor & needy an earthly translation of law upon God's eternal, we whose eyes remain closed...OUR CAPTIVITY IS OVER! Come & let us reason together as One Israel & go to The Lord Christ Jesus humbly seeking God's Freedom from Our Sins.

This is so exciting. Not only will the Lord do no iniquity, the one who has God in its midst will also not be able to do unrighteousness.This means that we shall be able do do things right and also do right things at all times. halleluyah!!!
