1: Woe to her
that is filthy and polluted [woe] to the oppressing city! 2: She obeyed
not the voice She received not correction She trusted not in YHWH
She drew not near to her ELOHIM
Comments: Zephaniah 3:1-2 Other gods demand
appeasement. Our God, YHWH, wants our trust and loving relationship.
Why? Because when we do not give our trust and enter into loving relationship
with Him, because of our fallen natures, we often, even without conscious
acknowledgment, begin appeasing other gods. The simplest commandments are more
easily broken, and we find ourselves being drawn more and more under the
influence of the evil one.
“‘Be angry but do not sin Do not let the sun go down on your wrath nor give foothold to the devil” (Ephesians 4:26–27)
