Zephaniah 2:9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel,
Moab shall become like Sodom
and the Ammonites like Gomorrah,
a land possessed by nettles and salt pits
and a waste forever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.(A)
Zephaniah 2:9
New International Version
9 Therefore, as surely as I live,”
declares the Lord Almighty,
the God of Israel,
“surely Moab(A) will become like Sodom,(B)
the Ammonites(C) like Gomorrah—
a place of weeds and salt pits,
a wasteland forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder(D) them;
the survivors(E) of my nation will inherit their land.(F)”
Zephaniah 2:13-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy Assyria,
and he will make Nineveh a desolation,
a dry waste like the desert.(A)
14 Herds shall lie down in it,
every wild animal of the earth;[a]
the desert owl[b] and the screech owl[c]
shall lodge on its capitals;
the owl[d] shall hoot at the window,
the raven[e] croak on the threshold,
for its cedar work will be laid bare.(B)
15 Is this the exultant city
that lived secure,
that said to itself,
“I am, and there is no one else”?
What a desolation it has become,
a lair for wild animals!
Everyone who passes by it
hisses and shakes the fist.(C)
Zephaniah 2:13-15
New International Version
Assyria
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy Assyria,(A)
leaving Nineveh(B) utterly desolate
and dry as the desert.(C)
14 Flocks and herds(D) will lie down there,
creatures of every kind.
The desert owl(E) and the screech owl(F)
will roost on her columns.
Their hooting will echo through the windows,
rubble will fill the doorways,
the beams of cedar will be exposed.
15 This is the city of revelry(G)
that lived in safety.(H)
She said to herself,
“I am the one! And there is none besides me.”(I)
What a ruin she has become,
a lair for wild beasts!(J)
All who pass by her scoff(K)
and shake their fists.(L)
