Zephaniah 01 General Notes

Structure and formatting

Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetic song in 1:2-18.

Special concepts in this chapter

Prophecy

In this chapter, it is unclear whether these prophecies concern the fall of Jerusalem, the coming of the Messiah or the day of the Lord. It is possible that the prophecies reference more than one period of time. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/dayofthelord)
