Zephaniah 1:10

Context

1:10 On that day,” says the Lord,

“a loud cry will go up 1  from the Fish Gate, 2 

wailing from the city’s newer district, 3 

and a loud crash 4  from the hills.

Zephaniah 3:20

Context

3:20 At that time I will lead you –

at the time I gather you together. 5 

Be sure of this! 6  I will make all the nations of the earth respect and admire you 7 

when you see me restore you,” 8  says the Lord.

1 tn The words “will go up” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

2 sn The Fish Gate was located on Jerusalem’s north side (cf. 2 Chr 33:14; Neh 3:3; 12:39).

3 tn Heb “from the second area.” This may refer to an area northwest of the temple where the rich lived (see Adele Berlin, Zephaniah [AB 25A], 86; cf. NASB, NRSV “the Second Quarter”; NIV “the New Quarter”).

4 tn Heb “great breaking.”

5 tn In this line the second person pronoun is masculine plural, indicating that the exiles are addressed.

6 tn Or “for.”

7 tn Heb “I will make you into a name and praise among all the peoples of the earth.” Here the word “name” carries the nuance of “good reputation.”

8 tn Heb “when I restore your fortunes to your eyes.” See the note on the phrase “restore them” in 2:7.
