• Deceit has peculiarly marked the Jew in his exiled state: it is apt to be the character of a down-trodden people. Those who have things their own way can afford to have a kind of honesty after the flesh; but in the case of people for ages hunted and destroyed, and the object of unprecedented rapine and cruelty as the poor Jews were, it was not to be wondered at. Where grace is not known in Christ, persecution generates this kind of deceit in language as well as iniquity in many another way. But the change is at hand and here announced. (“Zephaniah 3” by W. Kelly)
• There will be the removal of all the old occasion for fear externally; and even before this a moral change will have been produced by the grace of God within them. (“Zephaniah 3” by W. Kelly)
