Sofonias 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.

Sofonias 1:6 In-Context

4 E estenderei a minha mão contra Judá, e contra todos os habitantes de Jerusalém; e exterminarei deste lugar o resto de Baal, e os nomes dos sacerdotes de ídolos, juntamente com os sacerdotes;

5 e os que sobre os telhados adoram o exército do céu, e aqueles adoradores que juram ao Senhor, e juram por Milcom;

6 e os que deixam de seguir ao Senhor, e os que não buscam ao Senhor, nem perguntam por ele.

7 Cala-te diante do Senhor Deus, porque o dia do Senhor está perto; pois o Senhor tem preparado um sacrifício, e tem santificado os seus convidados.

8 E no dia do sacrifício do Senhor castigarei os oficiais, e os filhos do rei, e todos os que se vestem de trajes estrangeiros.
