Zephaniah 2:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ The survivors of Judah will find pasture on it;
    at twilight they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon,
for the Lord their God will visit them,
    restoring their prosperity.”^[a]

⁸ “I’ve heard Moab’s insults
    and the curses from those Ammonites^[b]
by which they defame my people
    and boast about their territory.
⁹ Therefore as I’m alive and living,” declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel,
    “Moab will surely become like Sodom,
        and the Ammonites^[c] like Gomorrah,
a place overrun by weeds and salty marshes,
    unpopulated forever.
The survivors of my people will confiscate their property,
    and those who remain of my nation will inherit what was theirs.^[d]
