Zephaniah 2:6-8
Contemporary English Version

6 Your seacoast will be changed
into pastureland
    and sheep pens.[a]
7 The Lord God hasn't forgotten
those survivors in Judah,
    and he will help them—
his people will take your land
    to use for pasture.
And when evening comes,
they will rest
    in houses at Ashkelon.[b]

Judgment on Moab and Ammon

* 8 (A) The Lord All-Powerful,
    the God of Israel, said:
I've heard Moab and Ammon
insult my people
    and threaten their nation.[c]
