I will punish the princes¹ and the king’s sons,

and all who wear foreign styles of clothing.²

Zephaniah 1:12

Context

1:12 At that time I will search through Jerusalem with lamps.

I will punish the people who are entrenched in their sin,³

those who think to themselves,⁴

‘The Lord neither rewards nor punishes.’⁵

¹tn Or “officials” (NRSV, TEV); NLT “leaders.”

²sn The very dress of the royal court, foreign styles of clothing, revealed the degree to which Judah had assimilated foreign customs.

³tn Heb “who thicken on their sediment.” The imagery comes from wine making, where the wine, if allowed to remain on the sediment too long, will thicken into syrup. The image suggests that the people described here were complacent in their sinful behavior and interpreted the delay in judgment as divine apathy.

⁴tn Heb “who say in their hearts.”

⁵tn Heb “The Lord does not do good nor does he do evil.”
