This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Zep_3:15 The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, [even] the LORD, [is] in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
Ver. 15. The Lord hath taken away thy Judgments] i.e. He hath remitted thy sins, removed thy punishments, turned again thy captivity as the streams in the south, commanded his prophets, saying, "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people," &c., Isa_40:1-2; tell her that all accusations and actions laid against her in the court of heaven are non-suited, and God’s wrath appeased. This is the sum of all the good news in the world; this is a short gospel.
He hath cast out thine enemy] As rubbish and sweepings of the house are cast out ( ôëä repurgare everrere significat); so hath God dealt by thine enemies corporal and spiritual; that thou being delivered out of the hands of both, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all thy days, Luk_1:74-75.
The king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee] In the many testimonies of his powerful and gracious presence; yea, he hath set him up a mercy seat, a throne of grace, and bidden thee come boldly thereunto, Heb_4:16.
Thou shalt not see evil any more] sc. So long as thou retainest God with thee, who is both a sun and a shield, Psa_84:11, and children have a place of refuge, Pro_14:26.
