| Zephaniah 3:13
| The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed, and shall lie down, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
| Israel. They shall be more submissive, and afraid of yielding to idolatry. Yet the synagogue was far from the perfection of primitive Christianity, or even from that of many pious souls in these days of relaxation. --- Afraid. The Jews were not much molested till the time of Epiphanes, nor was the country ravaged as it had been, Micheas 2:12. This peace is however of a spiritual nature, granted by Christ to those who fight against their passions, John 14:27. (Calmet) --- They shall feed on the word of God and on the blessed Eucharist. (Menochius)
