[:en]SCRIPTURE: ZEPHANIAH 2
“Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger” (Zephaniah 2:3)
The wrath of God was upon the nations around Judah. Among them were Philistines, Moab, Ammon, Cush and Assyria. The forthcoming description of judgment are like chaff (v. 2), like a tree uprooted (v. 4) overrun with weeds (v. 9) and like a dust (v. 13).
God would punish their mistreatment of His people, their pride and their worship of false gods.
But God had called on the people to turn from their sins, to seek Him, to seek righteousness and humility. God shall shelter the meek and save them during the day of wrath.
