Sophonie 1:6

6 Ceux qui se sont détournés de l'Eternel, Et ceux qui ne cherchent pas l'Eternel, Qui ne le consultent pas.

Sophonie 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

Zephaniah 1:6

And them that are turned back from the Lord
Who once were worshippers of him, but now become apostates, and had turned their backs on him and his worship. Some think this describes those who renewed their covenant with God in Josiah's time, and after that revolted from him, who must be very abominable to him; and therefore he threatens to stretch out his hand, and pour out his wrath upon them: and [those] that have not sought the Lord, nor inquired for him;
profane abandoned sinners, that lived without God in the world, and as if there was no God; never concerned themselves about the worship of him, having no faith in him, love to him, or fear and reverence of him; so far were they from seeking him in the first place diligently, zealously, and with their whole heart, that they never sought him at all; nor took any pains to get any knowledge of him, or of his mind and will, and manner of worship; but were altogether careless about these things, and unconcerned for them.

Sophonie 1:6 In-Context

4 J'étendrai ma main sur Juda, Et sur tous les habitants de Jérusalem; J'exterminerai de ce lieu les restes de Baal, Le nom de ses ministres et les prêtres avec eux,

5 Ceux qui se prosternent sur les toits devant l'armée des cieux, Ceux qui se prosternent en jurant par l'Eternel Et en jurant par leur roi,

6 Ceux qui se sont détournés de l'Eternel, Et ceux qui ne cherchent pas l'Eternel, Qui ne le consultent pas.

7 Silence devant le Seigneur, l'Eternel! Car le jour de l'Eternel est proche, Car l'Eternel a préparé le sacrifice, Il a choisi ses conviés.

8 Au jour du sacrifice de l'Eternel, Je châtierai les princes et les fils du roi, Et tous ceux qui portent des vêtements étrangers.
