Footnotes

  1. Zephaniah 3:17 Or he will be quiet in his love, but the next line seems to rule out silence.
  2. Zephaniah 3:18 The verse is very difficult. The Hebrew seems to say the ones grieving from an appointed assembly I gathered from you; they were tribute or a burden upon her, a reproach. The translation is an attempt to explain a difficult construction.
