TUHAN telah menyingkirkan hukuman yang jatuh atasmu, telah menebas binasa musuhmu. Raja Israel, yakni TUHAN, ada di antaramu; engkau tidak akan takut kepada malapetaka lagi.
Bahwa Tuhan sudah melalukan hukummu, dan disapukan-Nya habis seterumu; bahwa Raja orang Israel, yaitu Tuhan, adalah di tengah-tengahmu; tiada lagi engkau akan melihat barang jahat!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The Lord hath taken away thy judgments,.... Both outward and inward; not only exile, poverty, contempt and reproach among the nations of the earth; but hardness of heart, blindness of mind, impenitence and unbelief, to which the Jews are now given up, in a judicial way; but at this time these shall be removed, through the goodness of God unto them, and the power of divine grace upon them: they will be brought to a sense of sin, and an acknowledgment of it; their iniquities will be pardoned; and, the cause being removed, the effects will cease; and all calamities, corrections and punishment, will end; and they will be put into the possession of their own land, and enjoy all the privileges of the church of God; and so will have just reason to sing, shout, and rejoice:
he hath cast out thine enemy; that is, the Lord has removed the enemy that was in possession of their land, and so made way, and prepared it for them; he has swept him away, as the word p signifies, with great force, with much ease, and like so much dirt and filth; he stood in their way, nor could they have easily removed him; but the Lord did it, or will do it; though it may be by instruments, by means of the Christian princes. This is to be understood of the eastern antichrist, the Turk, now in possession of the land of Israel o; but shall be obliged to depart from it, when this prophecy shall take place, for a reason following:
the King of Israel, [even] the Lord, [is] in the midst of thee; that is, the Lord Jesus Christ, the true Messiah; one of whose titles is the King of Israel, of the spiritual Israel, King of saints, both Jews and Gentiles; in whose hearts he rules by his Spirit and grace; and to this passage the Jews in Christ's time seem to have respect, allowing this to be the character of the Messiah, Matthew 27:42 and also Nathanael, John 1:49 now at this time Christ will be in the midst of the converted Jews, by his spiritual and gracious presence, as their King, to reign over them, to whom they will be subject; and to protect and defend them, and deliver them out of the hands of all their enemies; and so he is in all his churches, and will be to the end of the world:
thou shalt not see evil any more; the evil of affliction or punishment; the evil of captivity, disgrace, and contempt. This shows that this prophecy does not respect the Babylonish captivity, and deliverance from that; for, since that time, they have seen evil by Antiochus Epiphanes, in the times of the Maccabees; and by the Romans; and have had a large and long experience of it; but when they are converted, and returned to their own land in the latter day, all their afflictions and troubles will be at an end, they will know them no more. The Vulgate Latin version renders it, "thou shalt not fear evil any more". So the Targum,
"thou shalt not be afraid from before evil any more.''
In the same sense Aben Ezra understands it,
"thou shalt not be afraid of the enemy any more;''
taking the word to come from another root q.
o Written about 1750. Editor. p פנה "everrit", Drusius; so Ben Melech; see Gen. xxiv. 31. "evacuerit", Cocceius. q A ירא "timuit", so V. L. "non timebis", Pagninus, Piscator; "fore ut non timeas", Junius Tremellius "hinc non erit quod timeas amplius quicquam mali", Burkius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The Lord hath taken away thy judgments - Her own, because brought upon her by her sins. But when God takes away the chastisements in mercy, He removes and forgives the sin too. Else, to remove “the judgments” only, would be to abandon the sinner. “He hath cast out,” literally, “cleared quite away” , as a man clears away all hindrances, all which stands in the way, so that there should be none whatever left - “thine enemy;” the one enemy, from whom every hindrance to our salvation comes, as He saith, “Now shall the prince of this world be cast out. The King of Israel, even the Lord” John 12:31, Christ the Lord, “is in the midst of thee,” of whom it is said, “He that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them” Revelation 7:15, and who Himself saith, “Lo I am with you always unto the end of the world” Matthew 28:20. “Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of you” Matthew 18:20.
He who had removed “from the midst of her” the proud, Who had left “in the midst of her” those with whom He dwelleth, shall Himself dwell “in the midst of her” in mercy, as He had before in judgment Matthew 18:11-12, Matthew 18:15, Matthew 18:5. He cleanseth the soul for His indwelling, and so dwelleth in the mansion which He had prepared for Himself. “Thou shalt not see evil anymore.” For even the remains of evil, while we are yet in the flesh, are overruled, and “work together to good to those who love God” Romans 8:28. They cannot separate between the soul and Christ. Rather, He is nearer to her in them. We are bidden to “count it all joy when we fall into divers temptations” James 1:2, for all sorrows are but medicine from a father’s hand. : “And truly our way to eternal joy is to suffer here with Christ, and our door to enter into eternal life is gladly to die with Christ, that we may rise again from death and dwell with Him in everlasting life.”
So in the Revelation, it is first said that God should dwell with His people, and then that all pain shall cease. “Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them and be their God. And God shall wipe all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain, for the former things are passed away” Revelation 21:3-4. Cyril: “In the inmost meaning of the words, he could not but bid her rejoice and be exceeding glad and rejoice with her whole heart, her sins being done away through Christ. For the holy and spiritual Zion, the Church, the multitude of believers, is justified in Christ alone, and we are saved by Him and from Him, escaping the harms of our invisible enemies, and having in the midst of us the King and God of all, Who appeared in our likeness, the Word from God the Father, through whom we see not evil, that is, are freed from all who could do us evil. For He is the worker of our acceptableness, our peace, our wall, the bestower of incorruption, the dispenser of crowns, Who lighteneth the assaults of devils, Who giveth us to ‘tread on serpents and scorpions and all the power of the enemy’ Luke 10:19 - through whom we are in good hope of immortality and life, adoption and glory, through whom we shall not see evil anymore.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zephaniah 3:15. The King of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee — They have never had a king since the death of Zedekiah, and never shall have one till they have the King Messiah to reign among them; and this promise refers to that event.
