Zephaniah 2:8-10

Lexham English Bible

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.”
¹⁰ This shall be for them in place of their pride
    because they mocked and boasted
    against the people of Yahweh of hosts.
