Sofonias 3:6 Meaning and Commentary

Zephaniah 3:6

I have cut off the nations
Utterly destroyed them, as the Philistines, Moabites, Ethiopians, and Assyrians, as in the preceding chapters; all which were done before the coming of Christ in the flesh; and by which instances the Jews should have took warning, lest by their sins they should provoke the Lord to destroy their nation, city, and temple: their towers are desolate;
built on their frontiers, or on the walls of their cities, to defend them; these were demolished, and laid waste, and of no use: or, "their corners" F2; towers being usually built on the angles or corners of walls. Some interpret this of their princes, nobles, and great men, who were destroyed; see ( Zechariah 10:4 ) : I made their streets waste, that none passeth by;
the streets of their cities, the houses being pulled down by the enemy, the rubbish of them lay in the streets, so that there was no passing for any; and indeed, the houses being demolished, the streets were no more in form: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is
none inhabitant;
the houses being burnt with fire, or pulled down, and plundered of the goods and substance in them, and the people cut off by famine, pestilence, or sword; and the rest carried captive, there was scarce a man or inhabitant left; so general was the destruction.

Sofonias 3:6 In-Context

4 Seus profetas são irresponsáveis,são homens traiçoeiros.Seus sacerdotes profanam o santuárioe fazem violência à lei.
5 No meio dela está o SENHOR,que é justo e jamais comete injustiça.A cada manhã ele ministra a sua justiça,e a cada novo dia ele não falha,mas o injusto não se envergonha da sua injustiça.
6 “Eliminei nações;suas fortificações estão devastadas.Deixei desertas as suas ruas.Suas cidades estão destruídas;ninguém foi deixado; ninguém!
7 Eu disse à cidade:Com certeza você me temeráe aceitará correção!Pois, então, a sua habitação não seria eliminada,nem cairiam sobre ela todos os meus castigos.Mas eles ainda estavam ávidospor fazer todo tipo de maldade.
8 Por isso, esperem por mim”,declara o SENHOR,“no dia em que eu me levantar para testemunhar.Decidi ajuntar as nações,reunir os reinose derramar a minha ira sobre eles,toda a minha impetuosa indignação.O mundo inteiro será consumidopelo fogo da minha zelosa ira.
