Zephaniah 2:6-8
New King James Version
6 The seacoast shall be pastures,
With [a]shelters for shepherds (A)and folds for flocks.
7 The coast shall be for (B)the remnant of the house of Judah;
They shall feed their flocks there;
In the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God will (C)intervene[b] for them,
And (D)return their captives.
8 “I(E) have heard the reproach of Moab,
And (F)the insults of the people of Ammon,
With which they have reproached My people,
And (G)made arrogant threats against their borders.
