Zefanya 1:6

1:6 and those who turn their backs on ¹  the Lord

and do not want the Lord’s help or guidance.” ² 

Zefanya 3:11

3:11 In that day you ³  will not be ashamed of all your rebelliousness against me, ⁴ 

for then I will remove from your midst those who proudly boast, ⁵ 

and you will never again be arrogant on my holy hill.

[1:6]  ¹ tn Heb “turn back from [following] after.”

[1:6]  ² tn Heb “who do not seek the Lord and do not inquire of him.” The present translation assumes the first verb refers to praying for divine help and the second to seeking his revealed will through an oracle. Note the usage of the two verbs in 2 Chr 20:3-4.

[3:11]  ³ sn The second person verbs and pronouns are feminine singular, indicating that personified Jerusalem is addressed here.

[3:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “In that day you not be ashamed because of all your actions, [in] which you rebelled against me.”

[3:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “the arrogant ones of your pride.”
