Sofonías 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.

Sofonías 1:6 In-Context

4 Y extenderé mi mano sobre Judá, y sobre todos los moradores de Jerusalén, y talaré de este lugar el remanente de Baal, y el nombre de sus religiosos con sus sacerdotes

5 y a los que se inclinan sobre los terrados al ejército del cielo; y a los que se inclinan jurando por el SEÑOR y jurando por su rey

6 y a los que se tornan atrás de en pos del SEÑOR; y a los que no buscaron al SEÑOR, ni preguntaron por él

7 Calla delante de la presencia del Señor DIOS, porque el día del SEÑOR está cercano; porque el SEÑOR ha aparejado sacrificio, prevenido a sus convidados

8 Y será que en el día del sacrificio del SEÑOR, haré visitación sobre los príncipes, y sobre los hijos del rey, y sobre todos los que visten vestido extraño
