Zephaniah 2:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Zephaniah 2:9

7 The coast shall be for ^athe remnant of the house of Judah;
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.

8 “I^a have heard the reproach of Moab,
And ^bthe insults of the people of Ammon,
With which they have reproached My people,
And ^cmade arrogant threats against their borders.

9 Therefore, as I live,”
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.”

10 This they shall have ^afor their pride,
Because they have reproached and made arrogant threats
Against the people of the Lord of hosts.

11 The Lord will be awesome to them,
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.

12 “You^a Ethiopians also,
You shall be slain by ^bMy sword.”
