Zephaniah3:12

12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD .

The Chaldeans had spared none if the Lord had not preserved a remnant; 'tis he rather then they, which did leave a remnant.

To return and dwell in Iudaea and Ierusalem.

Or a people of a broken spirit, a meek, humble spirited people instead of that proud heart was once among them.

Not so much in outward respects as poor in spirit, such a people as the Lord can de[illegible: 1 letter]ight in.

Not in City or Temple, but in the Lord and in his mercy, faithfulness, and power.
