Zephaniah 3:9 Summary

[This verse is talking about a time when God will make it possible for people from all over the world to worship Him together in a pure and sincere way, without any corruption or impurity.

It's a beautiful picture of unity and worship, and it's something that we can look forward to as believers. As we wait for this day, we can strive to purify our own speech and worship, and to bring others together to worship the LORD, as encouraged in (Hebrews 10:25)]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Zephaniah 3:9

For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. For.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Zephaniah 3:9

For then, or, then, afterwards, i.e. when my judgments have been executed, and have cut off the wicked, will I turn to the people a pure language; I will give them a pure way of worshipping me, in prayer, praises, and the issue of a purified heart, 36:26. Call upon the name of the Lord; perform all religions service, all religion being expressed thus by calling on the name of the Lord. To serve him, the Lord their God, not idols, with one consent; with one heart, and according to his own law and will; with one shoulder shall they bear the yoke of the law, alluding to porters that join shoulder to shoulder in carrying great burdens.

Trapp's Commentary on Zephaniah 3:9

Zephaniah 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.Ver. 9. For then will I turn to the people a pure language] "Then," when my sword hath rid circuit, Ecclesiastes 8:17, and been bathed in the blood of all nations, for their many and mighty sins, "I will turn to the people," I will turn mine hand upon the little ones, mine elect, that remnant reserved for royal use. These I will bring, not into the fire only, but through it, and will refine them as silver is refined, Zechariah 13:7; Zechariah 13:9, so that their tongue shall be as choice silver, Proverbs 10:20, their lip shall be a pure lip, as it is here, a lip of excellence, Proverbs 17:7, so that they shall scatter pearls, Matthew 7:6, throw abroad treasure, Matthew 12:35, even apples of gold in shrines of silver, Proverbs 25:11, they shall purify themselves, as God is pure, 1 John 3:3. Old things shall be past with them, all things shall become new; new constitution, new communication, new conversation. Look how the Conqueror sought to bring the French tongue into England, commanding it to be taught in schools, spoke in courts, &c., so doth the Lord Christ, who rideth about the world upon his white horses, the apostles and other ministers, "conquering and to conquer," Revelation 6:2; wherever he prevails, he turneth to such "a pure language," even the language of Canaan; not the Hebrew tongue (as R. Abraham senses this text) which all nations shall speak, saith he, in the kingdom of Christ (what they do in heaven, I have not to say, some are confident), but words of grace, Colossians 4:6, words of truth and soberness, Acts 26:25, right words, Job 6:25, spiritual speeches, Ephesians 4:29, Scripture language, 1 Peter 4:11. That they may call upon the name of the Lord] As all God s people do, it is their character, 1 Corinthians 1:2, he hath no dumb children, they no sooner breathe but pray, Acts 9:11, for prayer is the breath of the spirit, Romans 8:26, and the fruit of faith; hence it is called the prayer of faith, and under the phrase of calling upon the name of the Lord here is meant believing in his name, and reposing upon Christ for safety here and salvation hereafter. To serve him with one consent] Heb. with one shoulder, that is, unanimously, and with conjoined endeavours (ομοθυμαδον), a metaphor from oxen yoked and setting their shoulders together to the work (υποζυγονενα, Sept.); or else from porters, who set their several shoulders to the same burden. The saints may the better do so because they have the Spirit to lift with them and be over beside them, as the apostle’ s word (συναντιλαμβανεται) importeth, Romans 8:26.

Ellicott's Commentary on Zephaniah 3:9

(9) To the people.—Better, To the peoples, or nations.A pure language.—The discord of Babel shall, as it were, give place to unity of language, when the worship of “gods many” shall yield to the pure service of Jehovah, whom men shall “with one mind and one mouth glorify.”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Zephaniah 3:9

Verse 9. Will I turn to the people] This promise must refer to the conversion of the Jews under the Gospel. That they may all call] That the whole nation may invoke God by Christ, and serve him with one consent; not one unbeliever being found among them. The pure language, שפה ברורה saphah berurah, may here mean the form of religious worship. They had been before idolaters: now God promises to restore his pure worship among them. The word has certainly this meaning in Psalms 81:5; where, as God is the speaker, the words should not be rendered, "I heard a language which I understood not," but, "I heard a religious confession, which I approved not." See Isaiah 19:18; Hosea 14:3; and see Joe 2:28, where a similar promise is found.

Cambridge Bible on Zephaniah 3:9

9–13. The conversion of the nations and of Israel Though Zephaniah 3:8 describes the universal judgment, it is closely connected with Zephaniah 3:9-13. The judgment is not an end in itself; the conversion of the nations follows upon the revelation of Jehovah in judgment (ch. Zephaniah 2:11; cf. Isaiah 66:18-19). Zephaniah 3:9-10 speak of the nations, Zephaniah 3:11-13 of Israel.

Barnes' Notes on Zephaniah 3:9

For then - In the order of God’s mercies. The deliverance from Babylon was the forerunner of that of the Gospel, which was its object.

Whedon's Commentary on Zephaniah 3:9

THE WORLD AND ITS EFFECTS, Zephaniah 3:8-13.Since all warnings have failed, the judgment is inevitable. But in the midst of the rebellious nation there is a faithful remnant (Zephaniah 2:3); to it are addressed Zephaniah 3:8 ff.
