The woe on the oppressing city, and the LORD’s word: “Therefore wait for me”
포학한 성읍에 화가 있다는 말과 기다리라 하신 여호와의 말씀
Zephaniah 3:1–8: the text says, “Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city! She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in the LORD. She didn’t draw near to her God. Her princes within her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day. Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law. The LORD, within her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.” The text does not name the city. “I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant. I said, ‘Just fear me. Receive correction,’ so that her dwelling won’t be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her. But they rose early and corrupted all their doings. Therefore wait for me”, says the LORD, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.” WEB sets no quotation marks around 3:6–7 but those of the words “Just fear me. Receive correction,” and opens a quotation at 3:8, “Therefore wait for me”, which it closes at the end of 3:13. The Korean Revised Version opens 3:8 with the formula, 나 여호와가 말하노라, and at 3:7 gives 너의 거처가 끊어지지 아니하리라 inside the words it opens with 내가 이르기를 (… 하였으나), where WEB gives “so that her dwelling won’t be cut off” after those words.
