They shall feed their flocks there;
In the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God will bintervene for them,
And creturn their captives.
And bthe insults of the people of Ammon,
With which they have reproached My people,
And cmade arrogant threats against their borders.
Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
“Surely aMoab shall be like Sodom,
And bthe people of Ammon like Gomorrah—
cOverrun1 with weeds and saltpits,
And a1 perpetual desolation.
The residue of My people shall plunder them,
And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”
Because they have reproached and made arrogant threats
Against the people of the Lord of hosts.
For He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth;
aPeople shall worship Him,
Each one from his place,
Indeed all bthe shores of the nations.
| << Zephaniah 2:7 | Zephaniah 2:9 >> |
