Zephaniah 2:8-10

English Standard Version

⁸“I have heard ^(A)the taunts of Moab
    and ^(B)the revilings of the Ammonites,
how they have taunted my people
    and made boasts ^(C)against their territory.
⁹Therefore, ^(D)as I live,” declares the Lord of hosts,
    the God of Israel,
“Moab shall become ^(E)like Sodom,
    and the Ammonites ^(F)like Gomorrah,
a land possessed by nettles and salt pits,
    and a waste forever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
    and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.”
¹⁰This shall be their lot in return ^(G)for their pride,
    because they taunted and boasted
    against the people of the Lord of hosts.
