Zephaniah 2:3

all ye meek of the earth Though the exhortation to seek the Lord (Amos 5:6; Isaiah 55:6) be addressed specially to the prophet's own people of Judah, there is no necessity for rendering, meek of the land. The "meek" are those humble before Jehovah, cf. Zephaniah 3:12; they are further described as those that do His judgment or ordinance, that is, obey in life the statutes of the Lord. They are exhorted to renew, or to continue more importunately, their seeking of the Lord in face of the approaching day of trouble.

It may be ye shall be hid The figure is that of finding refuge from a storm passing over, or a foe sweeping past. Isaiah 26:20, "Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers; hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast"; Job 14:13, "Oh that thou wouldst hide me in Sheòl, that thou wouldst keep me secret until thy wrath be past." Even amidst what looks like absolute certainty of the divine judgment, the prophets cannot renounce the idea of the possibility of the people's repenting and averting the impending wrath; cf. Jeremiah 7:5-7; Jeremiah 26:3; Jeremiah 36:3; Jeremiah 36:5; Amos 5:6; Amos 5:15.
