Commentary on Zephaniah 3:13

Theological / Devotional

Remnant. See on Joel 2:32. The “remnant” here referred to is the group mentioned in v. 12 who would “trust in the name of the Lord.” They are the ones who would remain in Judah after the sinners of the land had been consumed. The prophet here looks forward to the time of restoration mentioned in vs. 14-20.

Feed. Or, “pasture.” The prophet here employs a familiar OT figure, where the people of God are likened to sheep under a good “shepherd” (see Ps. 23).
