  2. Exposition

What shift in speaking occurs?

Zephaniah 2:10 (ESV)

10 This shall be their lot in return for their pride, because they taunted and boasted against the people of the LORD of hosts.

The prophecy shifts from having God himself speak in the first person to having the prophet speak about the Lord in the third person.
