Sofonias 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.

Sofonias 2:13 In-Context

11 O SENHOR será terrível contra elesquando destruir todos os deuses da terra.As nações de todo o mundo o adorarão,cada uma em sua própria terra.
12 “Vocês também, ó etíopes,serão mortos pela minha espada”.
13 Ele estenderá a mão contra o nortee destruirá a Assíria,deixando Nínive totalmente em ruínas,tão seca como o deserto.
14 No meio dela se deitarão rebanhose todo tipo de animais selvagens.Até a coruja-do-deserto e o mochose empoleirarão no topo de suas colunas.Seus gritos ecoarão pelas janelas.Haverá entulho nas entradas,e as vigas de cedro ficarão expostas.
15 Essa é a cidade que exultava,vivendo despreocupada,e dizia para si mesma:“Eu, e mais ninguém!”Que ruínas sobraram!Uma toca de animais selvagens!Todos os que passam por ela zombame sacodem os punhos.
