Study Note
The call to Zion to 'sing, shout, be glad, and rejoice' inaugurates Zephaniah's concluding oracle of restoration (3:14–20), shifting abruptly from the preceding indictment of corrupt leaders to a lyrical celebration of divine presence in the midst of the city. The quadruple imperative intensifies the emotional register, employing the same vocabulary as the Psalms of Zion (Psalms 47, 87, 96) to invoke the liturgical joy associated with YHWH's enthronement. The subsequent verse (3:15) grounds the celebration in the removal of judgment and the return of the divine king to the midst of Israel — a sequence that Paul echoes in Philippians 4:4–5 ('rejoice in the Lord always... the Lord is at hand'). Luke 1:28's angelic greeting to Mary ('rejoice, highly favored one') may allude to this verse, depicting Mary as the daughter of Zion receiving the divine king.
