Zephaniah 2:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ Therefore, as I live,” says the Lord of hosts,
    the God of Israel,
“Moab shall become like Sodom,
    and the Ammonites like Gomor′rah,
a land possessed by nettles and salt pits,
    and a waste for ever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
    and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.”
¹⁰ This shall be their lot in return for their pride,
    because they scoffed and boasted
    against the people of the Lord of hosts.
¹¹ The Lord will be terrible against them;
    yea, he will famish all the gods of the earth,
and to him shall bow down,
    each in its place,
    all the lands of the nations.
