Brother Martin on Zephaniah 3.14 & 15


"The Lord has taken away the judgement against you." That is, "He does not want you to rebuke yourselves anymore. He does not want you to hate yourselves anymore. Rather, he loves you like a beloved daughter. You have a God who is a very gentle Father, and no longer a judge who wants to terrify your conscience with the law."
(Martin Luther,  Lectures on the Minor Prophets)
