Zephaniah 2:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible
The Lord will destroy the people of other countries
8 The Lord of all his armies says, ‘I have heard the cruel people in the countries called Moab and Ammon.
They laugh about you and they say cruel things about you, my people.
They have thought that they were greater than you.
They have come against you.’
9 The Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says,
‘You can be sure that I live.
In the same way, you can also be sure that my people will take everything for themselves.
God will destroy Moab as he destroyed Sodom.
He will destroy Ammon as he destroyed Gomorrah.
After this, the ground will have lots of salt on it. Weeds will grow there.
Nobody will build anything there again.
My people who are still alive will take for themselves the Ammonites' things and the Moabites' things.’
10 That will happen to all proud people.
The proud people said cruel words to God's people.
The cruel people thought that they were greater than the people of the Lord Almighty.
