西番雅书

Chronologically, the prophets may be divided into four groups:(1) Amos, Hosea, Micah, and Isaiah, active in the 8th century BC;(2) Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, and Jeremiah, immediately preexilic (late 7th to early 6th century);(3) Ezekiel and Second Isaiah, exilic period;(4) the postexilic prophets.

按时间顺序，先知可分为四组：（ 1 ）阿摩司，何西阿，弥迦，和以赛亚，活跃於公元前8世纪；（ 2 ）那鸿，西番雅书，哈巴谷，并耶利米，立即preexilic （ 7月底至6月初世纪）；（ 3 ）基尔和第二以赛亚，放逐期；（ 4 ） postexilic先知。

In Zephaniah, He is the Lord mighty to save.

在西番雅书，他是上帝的救赎权柄

According to Bible teacher Henrietta Mears, Zephaniah begins with sorrow but ends with singing.

根据圣经老师亨莉达·米尔斯所言：「西番雅书是以悲哀开始，以歌唱结束。

The customary classification of the prophetical books of the Bible into Major Prophets and Minor Prophets (Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi) is based on the length of the books.

习惯分类的预言书圣经到大先知（以赛亚，耶利米，和基尔）和小先知（何西阿，乔尔，阿摩司，俄巴底亚，约拿，米卡，那鸿，哈巴谷，西番雅书，哈，撒迦利亚，和玛拉基）是基於长度的书籍。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
