Sofonías 2:13 Meaning and Commentary

Zephaniah 2:13

And he will stretch out his hand against the north
Either the Lord, or Nebuchadnezzar his sword; who, as he would subdue the nations that lay southward, he would lead his army northward against the land of Assyria, which lay to the north of Judea, as next explained: and destroy Assyria;
that famous monarchy, which had ruled over the kingdoms of the earth, now should come to an end, and be reduced to subjection to the king of Babylon: and will make Nineveh a desolation;
which was the capital city, the metropolis of the Assyrian monarchy: Nahum prophesies at large of the destruction of this city: [and] dry like a wilderness;
which before was a very watery place, situated by rivers, particularly the river Tigris; so that it was formerly like a pool of water, ( Nahum 2:6 Nahum 2:8 ) but now should be dry like a heath or desert, Dr. Prideaux places the destruction of Nineveh in the twenty ninth year of Josiah's reign; but Bishop Usher earlier, in the sixteenth year of his reign; and, if so, then Zephaniah, who here prophesies of it, must begin to prophesy in the former part of Josiah's reign.

Sofonías 2:13 In-Context

11 Terrible será el SEÑOR contra ellos, porque enervará a todos los dioses de la tierra; y cada uno desde su lugar se inclinarán a él, todas las islas de los gentiles
12 Vosotros también los de Etiopía seréis muertos con mi espada
13 Y extenderá su mano sobre el aquilón, y destruirá al Assur, y pondrá a Nínive en asolamiento, y en secadal como un desierto
14 Y rebaños de ganado harán en ella majada, todas las bestias de los gentiles; el onocrótalo también y el erizo dormirán en sus umbrales; su voz cantará en las ventanas; y asolación será en las puertas, porque su enmaderamiento de cedro será descubierto
15 Esta es la ciudad alegre que estaba confiada, la que decía en su corazón: Yo soy, y no hay más. ¡Cómo fue tornada en asolamiento, en cama de bestias! Cualquiera que pasare junto a ella silbará, y meneará su mano
