Zephaniah 3:15
The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out
thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou
shalt not see evil any more.

remove his hand of judgment and will disperse the armies of your enemy. And the
LORD himself, the King of Israel, will live among you! At last your
troubles will be over, and you will never again fear disaster.
b. NIV: The LORD has taken
away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The LORD, the King of
Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm.
c. YLT: Jehovah hath turned aside
thy judgments, He hath faced thine enemy, The king of Israel, Jehovah, is in
thy midst, Thou seest evil no more.
d. Amplified Bible Classic: [For
then it will be that] the Lord has taken away the judgments against you; He has
cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, even the Lord [Himself], is in the
midst of you; [and after He has come to you] you shall not experience orfear
evil any more.
e. Septuagint: The Lord has taken
away thine iniquities, he has ransomed thee from the hand of thine enemies: the
Lord, the King of Israel, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any
more.
f. Stone Edition Torah/Prophets/Writings:
HASHEM has removed your judgments; He has cleared away your enemy. The King of
Israel, HASHEM, is in your midst, you will never again fear evil.

1). Israel at this time will be
reunited with their God. The entire nation and as individuals they will be born again.
a). Ezekiel 36:25-38 Then will I
sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness,
and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
36:26 A new heart also will I give
you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony
heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
36:27 And I will put my spirit
within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my
judgments, and do them.
36:28 And ye shall dwell in the
land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your
God.
36:29 I will also save you from
all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and
lay no famine upon you.
36: 30 And I will multiply the
fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more
reproach of famine among the heathen.
36:31 Then shall ye remember your
own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves
in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
36:32 Not for your sakes do I
this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded
for your own ways, O house of Israel.
36:33 Thus saith the Lord God;
In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also
cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
36:34 And the desolate land shall
be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
36:35 And they shall say, This
land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and
desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
36:36 Then the heathen that are
left round about you shall know that I the Lordbuild the ruined places,
and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I
will do it.
36:37 Thus saith the Lord God;
I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I
will increase them with men like a flock.
36:38 As the holy flock, as the
flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled
with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am theLord.
2). All the charges, indictments that
were against Israel have been removed. Removed of course because of the
sacrifice of Christ.
a). Hebrews 10:15-17 Whereof
the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
10:16 This is the covenant that I
will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into
their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
10:17 And their sins and
iniquities will I remember no more.
b). Hebrews 8:7-13 For if that
first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for
the second.
8:8 For finding fault with them,
he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
8:9 Not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead
them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I
regarded them not, saith the Lord.
8:10 For this is the covenant that
I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will
put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to
them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
8:11 And they shall not teach
every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for
all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
8:12 For I will be merciful to
their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no
more.
8:13 In that he saith, A new
covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is
ready to vanish away.
