Commentary
Zephaniah 2 is a powerful chapter that speaks of God's judgment and wrath against those who have turned away from Him. The chapter begins with a warning to the nations of the world, who have turned away from God and have become proud and arrogant. God warns them that He will bring judgment upon them for their wickedness and disobedience. He will bring destruction and desolation upon them, and they will be scattered among the nations.
