18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s indignation and wrath. But the whole earth shall be consumed in the fire of His jealous Zeph. 3:18-20); the last day is also "the day of redemption" (Eph. 4:30). See also Matt. 24:31; John 14:3; 1 Thess. 4:15-17.">[fn] wrath, for a full, yes, a sudden, end will He make of all the inhabitants of the earth. Luke 21:35, 36; II Pet. 3:10-13.">[fn]
Baik emasnya baik peraknya tiada dapat meluputkan mereka itu pada hari kehangatan murka Tuhan, melainkan oleh api gairah-Nya akan dimakan habis akan seluruh tanah ini; karena diadakan-Nya kelak kesudahan, bahkan, kesudahan yang segera pada segala orang penduduk tanah ini!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath,.... Which they have gotten in an unjust way, and have hoarded up, and put their confidence in; these were the lees on which they were settled; but now, as they would be disregarded by the Lord, as insufficient to atone for their sins, and appease his wrath, and procure his favour; see Job 36:18 so they would be of no avail to them, to deliver from their enemies, who would not be bribed therewith to save their lives; the same is said of the Medes at the taking of Babylon, Isaiah 13:17:
but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; his zeal against sin, and for his own glory, shall burn like fire; which shall consume the whole land, and all the inhabitants of it, and was not to be stopped by anything that could be done by them; so furious and raging would it be:
for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land; burn up at once all the briers and thorns, even all that offend, and do iniquity, and spare neither root nor branch; or, as when a field is cleared of the stubble on it, after the wheat is gathered in; or a grain floor of its chaff, after the wheat is separated from it; thus with the besom of destruction would the Lord sweep away the sinful inhabitants of Judea, and clear it of them, as he did by the sword, by famine, by pestilence, and by captivity.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath - Gain unjustly gotten was the cause of their destruction. For, as Ezekiel closes the like description; “They shall cast their silver into the streets, and their gold shall be removed; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord; they shall not satisfy their souls nor fill their bowels: “because it is the stumbling-block of their iniquity” Ezekiel 7:19. Much less shall any possession, outward or inward, be of avail in the Great Day; since in death the rich man’s “pomp shall not follow him” Psalms 49:17, and every gift which he has misused, whether of mind or spirit, even the knowledge of God without doing His will, shall but increase damnation. “Sinners will then have nothing but their sins.”
Here the prophet uses images belonging more to the immediate destruction; at the close the words again widen, and belong, in their fullest literal sense, to the Day of Judgment. “The whole land,” rather, as at the beginning, “the whole earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jelousy; for He shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land:” rather, “He shall make an utter, yea altogether a terriffic destruction of all the dwellers of the earth.” What Nahum had foretold of Nineveh , “He shall make the place thereof an utter consumption,” that Zephaniah foretells of all the inhabitants of the world. For what is this, “the whole earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy,” but what Peter says, “the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up?” 2 Peter 3:13. And what is that he says, “He shall make all the dwellers of the earth an utter, yea altogether a hasty destruction,” but a general judgment of all, who belong to the world, whose home, citizenship, whose whole mind is in the world, not as true Christians, who are strangers and pilgrims here, and their “citizenship is in heaven?” Hebrews 11:13; Philippians 3:20.
These God shall make an utter, terrific, speedy destruction, a living death, so that they shall at once both be and not be; be, as continued in being; not be, as having no life of God, but only a continued death in misery. And this shall be through the jealousy of Almighty God, that divine quality in Him, whereby He loves and wills to be loved, and endures not those who give to others the love for which He gave so much and which is so wholly due to Himself Alone. Augustine, Conf. i. 5. p. 3, Oxford Translation: “Thou demandest my love, and if I give it not, art wroth with me, and threatenest me with grievous woes. Is it then a slight woe to love Thee not?” What will be that anger, which is Infinite Love, but which becomes, through man’s sin, Hate?
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zephaniah 1:18. Their silver nor their gold — In which they trusted, and from which they expected happiness; these shall not profit them in this awful day. And God will bring this about speedily; and a speedy riddance - a universal desolation, shall in a short time take place in every part of the land.
