Zephaniah 2:9-11
New King James Version
Zephaniah 2:9-11
New King James Version
9 Therefore, as I live,”
Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
“Surely (A)Moab shall be like Sodom,
And (B)the people of Ammon like Gomorrah—
(C)Overrun[a] with weeds and saltpits,
And a [b]perpetual desolation.
The residue of My people shall plunder them,
And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”
10 This they shall have (D)for their pride,
Because they have reproached and made arrogant threats
Against the people of the Lord of hosts.
11 The Lord will be awesome to them,
For He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth;
(E)People shall worship Him,
Each one from his place,
Indeed all (F)the shores of the nations.

Zephaniah 2:9-11
New International Version
9 Therefore, as surely as I live,”
declares the Lord Almighty,
the God of Israel,
“surely Moab(A) will become like Sodom,(B)
the Ammonites(C) like Gomorrah—
a place of weeds and salt pits,
a wasteland forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder(D) them;
the survivors(E) of my nation will inherit their land.(F)”
