Zephaniah:2:8-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I have heard the reproach of Moab ,
and the revilings of the children of Ammon ,
wherewith they have reproached my people ,
and magnified themselves against their border .
*
Therefore , [
as ]
I live ,
saith Jehovah of hosts ,
the God of Israel ,
Moab shall certainly be as Sodom ,
and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah ,
a possession of nettles ,
and salt-pits ,
and a perpetual desolation ;
the remnant of my people shall spoil them ,
and the residue of my nation shall possess them .
*
This shall they have for their pride ,
because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of hosts .
*
Jehovah will be terrible unto them ;
for he will famish all the gods of the earth ;
and all the isles of the nations shall worship him ,
every one from his place .
