Summary for Zeph 1:14-18: 1:14-18 ^a The meaning of the day of the Lord broadens to include God’s dealings with the whole earth.
1:15 ^b darkness and gloom: See also Isa 13:9-10 ^c; Joel 2:1-2 ^d; Amos 5:18-20 ^e.
1:17 ^f grope around like the blind: An example of God’s justice (see also Rom 1:21-32 ^g). Because God’s people were blind ethically and spiritually (see Exod 23:8 ^h; Rom 2:19 ⁱ; 1 Jn 2:11 ^j) and had sinned against the Lord and his commandments, they would incur the just penalties specified in God’s covenant with them (Deut 28:28-29 ^k).
