SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:2
Destruiré del todo todas las cosas de sobre la faz de la tierra, dice el SEÑOR.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Zephaniah 1:2
Verse 2. I will utterly consume all things] All being now ripe for destruction, I will shortly bring a universal scourge upon the land. He speaks particularly of the idolaters.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. I will utterly consume all [things] from off the land, saith the Lord .] That is, from the land of Judah, by means of the Chaldeans or Babylonians: this is a general denunciation of the judgments of God, the particulars follow: or, “in gathering I will gather”; all good things out of the land; all the necessaries of life, and blessings of Providence; all that is for the sustenance and pleasure of man, as well as all creatures, by death or captivity; and so the land should be entirely stripped, and left naked and bare. The phrase denotes the certainty of the thing, as well as the utter, entire, and total consumption that should be made, and the vehemence and earnestness in which it is expressed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-6 - Ruin is coming, utter ruin; destruction from the Almighty. The servant of God all proclaim, There is no peace for the wicked. The expression are figurative, speaking every where desolation; the land shall be lef without inhabitants. The sinners to be consumed are, the professe idolaters, and those that worship Jehovah and idols, or swear to the Lord, and to Malcham. Those that think to divide their affections an worship between God and idols, will come short of acceptance with God for what communion can there be between light and darkness? If Sata have half, he will have all; if the Lord have but half, he will have none. Neglect of God shows impiety and contempt. May none of us be among those who draw back unto perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
