John Trapp on Zephaniah 3:1

CHAP. III.

Verſe 1. WOe to her that is filthy and polluted] Meaning Jeruſalem, once a faithfully city, now an harlot, foediſſimum proſtibulum, Iſay 1.21. of the kind of thoſe ſordid men who are called Borboritae, of their miry filthyneſſe, whom Epiphanius and Oecumenius ſpeak of. [non-Latin text not transcribed] The word here rendred filthy comes from a word that ſignifieth dung, or that ſignifieth an example: and ſo it is a metaphor taken from light women that are catted in a diſgracefull way and made a publike example, and infamous inſtance. It is rendred alſo gluttonous, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. or all craw as Levit. 1.6.

Ingluvies & tempeſtas, barathrum que macelli.

To the oppreſſing city] Praedatrici, that maketh a prey of others (either by force or fraud) as the ſilly dove is made a prey to the hawk and other ravenous birds.
