Zefanias 3:11

Filipino Cebuano Bible

11 Niadtong adlawa ikaw dili mahamutang sa kaulawan tungod sa tanan mong mga buhat, diin ikaw nakalapas batok kanako; kay unya akong pagakuhaon gikan sa imong kinataliwad-an ang imong mga tawo nga sa mapahitas-on nanagpalabilabi, ug ikaw dili na mapalabi-labihon diha sa akong bukid nga balaan.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In that day shall thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me,.... Because these shall not be continued in, but repented of, and forsaken; and, besides, shall be forgiven, blotted out, covered, and remembered no more; so that they shall not be charged with them, condemned for them, or be confounded before God, angels, and men, on account of them; not but that shame always arises from a true sense of sin; and the more, as it is beheld in the glass of pardoning love, which is a branch of true evangelical repentance, at least a fruit and evidence of it, Ezekiel 16:63 but then such are not ashamed to appear before God; but can with a holy confidence stand in his sight, their sins being pardoned, and their persons justified. This respects the Christian church or churches in Judea, the few that believed in Christ, called in a following verse the remnant of Israel Zephaniah 3:13, at the time when the generality of the people of the Jews rejected the Messiah, and their city and temple were destroyed, and the Lord turned the pure language of the Gospel to the Gentiles:

for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride; the Scribes and Pharisees, and those that adhered to them of the Jewish nation, who rejoiced in those things which that people generally prided themselves in and boasted of; their descent from Abraham; their observance of the rites and ceremonies of the law, and the traditions of their elders, and their external legal righteousness; and they rejoiced in their boastings of these things, which rejoicing was evil; and they, in the pride of their hearts, despised Christ and his righteousness, his Gospel, ordinances, and people, which were the things in which they transgressed against the Lord, and for which they were taken away by the sword, famine, and pestilence, at the destruction of Jerusalem: this is further explained by the next clause:

and thou shall no more be haughty because of mine holy mountain: the temple; or, "in" m it; since it should now be destroyed: the Jews gloried in the temple, and behaved proudly and haughtily on the account of it; reckoned themselves secure, because of that; and trusted and gloried in the sacrifices there offered up, and the services there performed; see Jeremiah 7:4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings - Because God, forgiving them, will blot them out and no more remember them. This was first fulfilled in the Gospel. Cyril: “No one can doubt that when Christ came in the flesh, there was an amnesty and remission to all who believed. ‘For we are justified not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His great mercy.’ But we have been released from shame. For ‘He’ hath restored us to freedom of access to God, Who for our sakes arose from the dead, and for us ascended to heaven in the presence of the Father. ‘For Christ, our Forerunner, hath ascended for us now to appear in the presence of God.’ So then He took away the guilt of all and freed believers from failures and shame.” Peter, even in heaven, must remember his denial of our Lord, yet not so as to be ashamed or pained anymore, since the exceeding love of God will remove all shame or pain.

Rup.: “Mighty promise, mighty consolation. Now, before that Day comes, the Day of My Resurrection, thou wilt be ashamed and not without reason, since thou ownest by a true confession, ‘all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags’ Isaiah 64:6. But at that Day it will not be so, especially when that shall be which I promise thee in the prophets and the Psalms, ‘There shall be a Fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness’ Zechariah 13:1; whence David also, exulting in good hope of the Holy Spirit, saith, ‘Thou shalt wash me and I shall be whiter than snow’ Psalms 51:7. For though he elsewhere saith, ‘they looked unto Him and were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed’ Psalms 34:5, yet in this mortal life, when the Day of My Resurrection doth not fully shine upon thee, thou art after some sort ashamed; as it is written, ‘What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?’ Romans 6:21, but that shame will bring glory, and, when that glory cometh in its place, will wholly pass away. But when the fullness of that day shall come, the fullness of My Resurrection, when the members shall rise, as the Head hath risen, will the memory of past foulness bring any confusion? Yea the very memory of the miseries will be the richest subject of singing, according to that, ‘My song shall be alway of the loving-kindness of the Lord’ Psalms 89:1.” For how shall the redeemed forget the mercies of their redemption, or yet how feel a painful shame even of the very miseries, out of which they were redeemed by the fullness of the overstreaming Love of God?

For then will I take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride - (Those of thee who exult in pride.) All confusion shall (cease, because all pride shall cease, the parent of sin and confusion. The very gift of God becomes to the carnal a source of pride. Pride was to the Jew also the great hindrance to the reception of the Gospel. He made his “boast of the law,” yea, in God Himself, that he “knew His will,” and was a “guide of others” Romans 2:17-20, Romans 2:23, and so was the more indignant, that the pagan was made equal to him, and that he too was called to repentance and faith in Christ. So, “going about to establish his own righteousness, he did not submit himself to the righteousness of God,” but shut himself out from the faith and grace and salvation of Christ, and rejected Himself. So (Rup.), “thy pride” may be the pride in being the people of God, and having Abraham for their father. “And thou shalt no more be haughty in My holy mountain,” “but thou shalt stand in the great and everlasting abiding-place of humility, knowing perfectly, that thou now ‘knowest in part’ only, and confessest truly that no one ever could or can by his own works be justified in the sight of God. ‘For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God’ Romans 3:23.” Pride which is ever offensive to God, is yet more hideous in a holy place or a holy office, “in” Mount Sion where the temple was or in the Christian priesthood.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Zephaniah 3:11. Shalt thou not be ashamed — Thy punishment shall cease, for God shall pardon thy sin.

For then I will take away out of the midst of thee — The wicked Jewish priests and scribes who blasphemed Christ, and would not come under his yoke.

Because of my holy mountain. — Thou wilt no more boast in my temple, but become meek and lowly in following him who is meek and lowly in heart, that ye may obtain rest to your souls.
