Kabbalah for Zephaniah 2:3
בַּקְּשׁ֤וּ אֶת־יְהוָה֙ כָּל־עַנְוֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר מִשְׁפָּט֖וֹ פָּעָ֑לוּ בַּקְּשׁוּ־צֶ֙דֶק֙ בַּקְּשׁ֣וּ עֲנָוָ֔ה אוּלַי֙ תִּסָּ֣תְר֔וּ בְּי֖וֹם אַף־יְהוָֽה׃
Seek ye the LORD, all ye humble of the earth, That have executed His ordinance; Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.
Zohar
Come and behold: It is written, "Seek righteousness, seek humility; it may be you shall be hidden on the day of Hashem's anger" (Tzefanyah 2:3). Noah did seek righteousness. He entered the ark and was hidden there on the day of Hashem's anger. And that is why Judgment could neither be applied to nor hurt him.
