Zephaniah:1:4-13
nasb@Zephaniah:1:4 @For Gaza will be abandoned And Ashkelon a desolation; Ashdod will be driven out at noon And Ekron will be uprooted.
nasb@Zephaniah:1:5 @Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; And I will destroy you So that there will be no inhabitant.
nasb@Zephaniah:1:6 @So the seacoast will be pastures, With caves for shepherds and folds for flocks.
nasb@Zephaniah:1:7 @And the coast will be For the remnant of the house of Judah, They will pasture on it. In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening; For the LORD their God will care for them And restore their fortune.
nasb@Zephaniah:1:8" @I have heard the taunting of Moab And the revilings of the sons of Ammon, With which they have taunted My people And become arrogant against their territory.
nasb@Zephaniah:1:9" @Therefore, as I live," declares the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, "Surely Moab will be like Sodom And the sons of Ammon like Gomorrah-- A place possessed by nettles and salt pits, And a perpetual desolation. The remnant of My people will plunder them And the remainder of My nation will inherit them."
nasb@Zephaniah:1:10 @This they will have in return for their pride, because they have taunted and become arrogant against the people of the LORD of hosts.
nasb@Zephaniah:1:11 @The LORD will be terrifying to them, for He will starve all the gods of the earth; and all the coastlands of the nations will bow down to Him, everyone from his own place.
nasb@Zephaniah:1:12" @You also, O Ethiopians, will be slain by My sword."
nasb@Zephaniah:1:13 @And He will stretch out His hand against the north And destroy Assyria, And He will make Nineveh a desolation, Parched like the wilderness.
