Zefanya 1:6

1:6 and those who turn their backs on ¹  the Lord

and do not want the Lord’s help or guidance.” ² 

Zefanya 2:10

2:10 This is how they will be repaid for their arrogance, ³ 

for they taunted and verbally harassed ⁴  the people of the Lord who commands armies.

[1:6]  ¹ tn Heb “turn back from [following] after.”

[1:6]  ² tn Heb “who do not seek the Lord and do not inquire of him.” The present translation assumes the first verb refers to praying for divine help and the second to seeking his revealed will through an oracle. Note the usage of the two verbs in 2 Chr 20:3-4.

[2:10]  ³ tn Heb “this is for them in place of their arrogance.”

[2:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “made great [their mouth?] against” (cf. the last phrase of v. 8).
