John Trapp on Zephaniah 3:13

Verſe 13. The remnant of Iſrael ſhall not do iniquity] Sanctity and ſecurity are here promiſed to al the citiz[illegible: 1 letter]ns of the Church. Being juſtified by Chriſt they ſhall do righteouſneſſe and truth: there ſhall no way of wickedneſſe be found in them Pſal. 139.24. they ſhall be kept from foule flagitious practiſes, neither ſhall they wallow or allow themſelves in any known ſin unrepented of. Their ſpot, if any, ſhall be the ſpot of Gods children Deut. 32.5. unvoluntary and unavoidable informity, ſuch as there is a pardon of courſe for: onely they muſt ſue it out by praying daily, Forgive us our treſpaſſes.

Nor ſpeak lies] For that's a foule fault, and ra[illegible: 1 letter]ely found in a Saint Eſay 63.8. For he ſaid, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: So he was their Saviour. Tho. Walſingh. It was wont to be as currant an argument, Chriſtianus eſt, non mentietur, He is a chriſtian, he will not lie, as afterwards it was, Hic eſt frater, ergo mendax, This is a friar, and therefore a liar. Sophronius teſtifieth of Chryſoſtome, nunquam eum mentitum fuiſſe, that he was never heard to tell a lie. Whereas of Pilat Egeſippus telleth us, that he was Vir nequam & parvi faciens mendacium, a naughty man, and one that made little conſcience of a lie. it may ſeem ſo indeed by that ſcornfull queſtion of his, What's truth? Ioh. 18.38

neither ſhall a deceitfull tongue be found in their mouth] Their pure lip ver. 9. is not uſed to the language of hell, their ſpirit without guile Pſal. 32.2. produceth ſpeech without deceit: for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth ſpeaketh, Mat. 12.34. See the Note there.

for they ſhall feed and lie down] ſhall have all that heart can wiſh, or need require; plenty, ſafety, ſecurity &c.

and none ſhall make them afraid] So as to make them dec iniquity or ſpeak lies: as very good men when frighted have dared to do: witneſſe abraham, Iſaac, Jacob, but eſpecially David, deeply guilty of this ſin 1 Sam. 21.2, 8. and 1 Sam. 27.8, 10. In the ſenſe of which ſin he prayeth, Remove from me the way of lying Pſal. 119.29. we alſo ſhould pray, Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from that evill one, the father of lies. And having the ſhepheard of Iſrael to feed us and tend us; we ſhould not feare Pſal. 23.2, 3. but chuſing rather to dye then to lye, to ſuffer then to ſhift, commit the keeping of our ſouls to him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creatour 1 Pet. 4.19.
