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 Aplastaré a Judá y a Jerusalén con mi puño
y destruiré todo rastro del culto a Baal.
Acabaré con todos los sacerdotes idólatras,
para que se borre hasta el recuerdo de ellos.

5 Pues ellos suben a las azoteas
y se postran ante el sol, la luna y las estrellas.
Dicen seguir al Señor
,
pero al mismo tiempo rinden culto a Moloc.

6 Destruiré a los que antes me adoraban
pero ahora dejaron de hacerlo.
Ya no piden el consejo del Señor
,
ni buscan mis bendiciones».

7 Guarden silencio en presencia del Señor
Soberano,
porque se acerca el imponente día del juicio del Señor
.
El Señor
ha preparado a su pueblo para una gran matanza
y ha seleccionado a sus verdugos.

8 «En ese día del juicio
—dice el Señor
—
castigaré a los líderes y a los príncipes de Judá
y a todos los que siguen costumbres paganas.
