Zephaniah 2:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 And the coast will be
For the (A)remnant of the house of Judah,
They will (B)drive sheep to pasture on it.
In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening;
For the Lord their God will (C)care for them
And (D)restore their fortunes.
8 “I have heard the (E)taunting of Moab
And the (F)abusive speech of the sons of Ammon,
With which they have taunted My people
And (G)boasted against their territory.
9 Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord of armies,
The God of Israel,
“(H)Moab will assuredly be like (I)Sodom,
And the sons of (J)Ammon like (K)Gomorrah—
Ground overgrown with weeds and full of salt mines,
And a permanent desolation.
The remnant of My people will (L)plunder them,
And the remainder of My nation will inherit them.”

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)”
