Matthew Poole and continuators on Zephaniah 1:6

6 And them that are turned back from the LORD, and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.

Apostates, who have forsaken the Lord and his Worship▪ or that are turned Athei[illegible: 2 letters]s, or that in matter of Religion have taken up not what is purest and truest, but what is nearest and most in fashion.

Sluggishly neglected to examine pretended Religions, according to the Law which they might, and ought to have done, and who have embraced a false Religion instead of the true.

Though the Prophets have preacht against this Apostacy, and called the Priests and People to forsake the Idols, and enquire after God, yet they would not enquire, these also are here doomed to destruction.
