1. Zephaniah 3:13 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What does “they shall do no injustice” recall and anticipate?

Zephaniah 3:13 (ESV)

13 those who are left in Israel; they shall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue. For they shall graze and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.”

This was said of the Lord himself in Zephaniah 3:5. Though at present there is still much that blurs the image of God in the preserved remnant of the Lord, the time will come when his image will be clearly seen in them (Colossians 3:10; Ephesians 4:24).1 In the time to come, this remnant shall do no injustice.
