Zephaniah 2:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ It will ·belong to [^Lbe for] the ·descendants of Judah who are left alive [^Lremnant of the house of Judah].
    There they will ·let their sheep eat grass [graze; find pasture].
At night they will ·sleep [lay down]
    in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will ·pay attention to [care for] them
    and will ·make their life good again [restore their fortunes; or return their exiles].

⁸ “I have heard the ·insults [taunts] of Moab[^Cthe country]
    and the ·threats [insults; reproach] of the ·people [^Lsons/descendants] of Ammon.
They have ·insulted [taunted] my people
    and ·have taken [or harrassed; threatened; or boasted about] their ·land [borders].”
⁹ So the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], the God of Israel, says,
    “As surely as I live,
Moab will ·be destroyed [^Lbecome] like Sodom,
    and ·Ammon [^Lthe sons/descendant of Ammon] will ·be destroyed [become] like Gomorrah [^Ctwo cities destroyed for their great wickedness; Gen. 19]—
a heap of weeds, a pit of salt,
    and a ·ruin [wasteland] forever.
·Those of my people who are left alive [The remnant of my people] will ·take whatever they want from [plunder] them;
    ·those who are left from my nation [the survivors] will ·take their land [^Linherit/possess them].”
