Study Lenses
The verse centers on "thou", "shalt", "ashamed", "doings", "wherein", "hast", and "transgressed". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "thou" and "shalt", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 10's "From beyond the rivers of Cush my..." into verse 12's "And I will leave in the midst...", so "thou" and "shalt" belong inside that flow. In Zephaniah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "thou" and "shalt" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
