In verses 3:1-5, Zephaniah speaks Yahweh's message of judgment to the sinful people of Jerusalem.

# Morning by morning
This idiom means "Every day" or "Day after day." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
# he will dispense his justice
Yahweh's just treatment of every person is spoken of as if he was handing out a commodity. AT: "he will treat people justly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

This uses a negative statement to emphasize the positive truth that Yahweh's justice is always visible. AT: "His justice is clearly shown to all" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes]])
