Zephaniah 2:7-9
Tree of Life Version
7 The coast will belong to the remnant of the house of Judah,
upon which they will graze.
In the houses of Ashkelon
they will lie down in the evening.
For Adonai their God will visit them
and return them from captivity.
8 I have heard the taunts of Moab
and the jeers of the children of Ammon,
who taunted My people
and expanded on their border.
9 Therefore, as I live,
declares Adonai-Tzva’ot God of Israel,
Moab will be like Sodom
and Ammon like Gomorrah—
a possession of weeds and a salt pit,
a perpetual wasteland.
The remainder of My people will plunder them.
The remnant of My nation will dispossess them.
Zephaniah 2:7-9
New International Version
7 That land will belong
to the remnant(A) of the people of Judah;
there they will find pasture.
In the evening they will lie down
in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will care for them;
he will restore their fortunes.[a](B)
Moab and Ammon
8 “I have heard the insults(C) of Moab(D)
and the taunts of the Ammonites,(E)
who insulted(F) my people
and made threats against their land.(G)
9 Therefore, as surely as I live,”
declares the Lord Almighty,
the God of Israel,
“surely Moab(H) will become like Sodom,(I)
the Ammonites(J) like Gomorrah—
a place of weeds and salt pits,
a wasteland forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder(K) them;
the survivors(L) of my nation will inherit their land.(M)”
