John Trapp on Zephaniah 1:18

Verſe 18. Neither their ſilver nor their gold ſhall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lords wrath] We were not redeemed with corruptible things as ſilver and gold 1 Pet. 1.18. Money hath drowned many a ſoule 1 Tim. 6. delivered none. See Prov. 11.4. with the Note, Eſay 13, 17. Ezek. 17.19. It is righteouſneſſe and not riches that delivereth from death Prov. 10.2. Money can neither pacifie God, nor ſill the conſcience, nor ſtop the enemies mouth, but inflame them rather with an unſatisfiable deſire of enjoying all, as Rome did the Gaules, and Cyprus the Romanes: and as the pearles, uſually caſt out with the flood,Sextus Rufus. and gathered at the ebbe, drew Caeſars affection for the conqueſt of Brittaine.Sueton.

but the whole land ſhall be devoured by the fire of his jealouſie] The ſins of Gods people are not onely diſobediences but treacheries, becauſe of the covenant. God is thereby provoked to jealouſie which is cruel as the grave, or hard as hell; the coales thereof are coales of fire which hath a moſt vehement flame. Cant. 8.6. the wore ſignifies the conſuming flame of God.

for he ſhall make even a ſpeedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land] Swept clean by God with the beeſom of deſtruction: ſo that the land was deſolate after them Zech. 7.14. Affliction roſe not up the ſecond time, Nah. 1.9. See the Notes there, and learn to give God the glory of his ſeverity againſt ſin.
