Zephaniah 2:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ And it shall become a region
    for the remnant of the house of Judah;
    upon them they shall graze,
and in the houses of Ashkelon
    they shall lie down in the evening.
For Yahweh their God shall be mindful of them,
    and he will restore their fortunes.
⁸ I have heard the reproaches of Moab
    and the scorning of the Ammonites,^[a]
with which they have taunted my nation
    and made boasts against their territory.
⁹ “Therefore, as I live”—a declaration of Yahweh of hosts,
    the God of Israel—
“Moab shall be as Sodom,
    and the Ammonites^[b] like Gomorrah,
a place of weeds and salt pits
    and a desolation forever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
    and the remainder of my nation shall possess them.”
