Zephaniah 2:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷The coast will belong to the survivors from the house of Judah;
        they will pasture beside the sea;^[a]
            in the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down in the evening.
        The Lord their God will visit them and restore their possessions.

⁸I have heard the taunting of Moab
        and the defamation of the Ammonites;
        they taunted my people
        and enlarged their borders.
⁹Therefore, as I live—
    says the Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel—
        Moab will become like Sodom
        and the Ammonites like Gomorrah:
        a plot of weeds, salt pits, and devastation forever.
The few remaining from my people will plunder them;
        the rest of my nation will possess them.
