Zephaniah 2:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷The coastland will belong
to the remnant of the house of Judah;
they will find pasture there.
They will lie down in the evening
among the houses of Ashkelon,
for the Lord their God will return to them
and restore their fortunes.

⁸I have heard the taunting of Moab
and the insults of the Ammonites,^(A)
who have taunted My people
and threatened their territory.
⁹Therefore, as I live—
this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts,
the God of Israel—
Moab will be like Sodom
and the Ammonites like Gomorrah^(B)—
a place overgrown with weeds,
a salt pit, and a perpetual wasteland.
The remnant of My people will plunder them;
the remainder of My nation will dispossess them.
