Bible Quote May 17th Zephaniah 3:17

“The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”” - Zephaniah 3:17

Zephaniah is writing just before the fall of Jerusalem, or during the exile period. He claims heritage to Hezekiah, but that might not be king Hezekiah. He might be an ethiopian Jew, or maybe his name merely suggests that. 

The particular verse is directed towards the chosen people of God who are suffering and being driven into exile after failing to hold covenant.
