Matthew Poole and continuators on Zephaniah 3:16

16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem Fear thou not: and to Zion y, Let not thine hands be slack .

The day or time of restitution, when the Captivity returned shall be settled in their Land.

By Prophets, or by Friends, congratulating them, or by each to other.

Inhabitants of Ierusalem ▪ the place being put for the people.

Disquiet not your selves with fears, though you may apprehend some dangers, from Sanballat and Tobiah, &c. though troublous times, as Neh. 4.1, 2. and Dan. 9.25.

In the work of the Lord, building the City, and Temple, and restoring the Worship of God, take heart, O ye returned Captives, for God your King is with you.
