@Zephaniah:2:4 @ For Gazzah shall become forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolate place: Ashdod shall they drive out at the noon of day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:5 @ Woe unto the inhabitants of the district by the sea, the nation of the Kerethites! the word of the Lord is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that no inhabitant shall remain.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:6 @ And the district by the sea shall become places for pens of shepherds, and folds for flocks.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:7 @ And this district shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; thereupon shall they feed their flocks: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for the Lord their God will think of them, and bring back their captivity.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:8 @ I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and made themselves great against their border.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:9 @ Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall become like Sodom, and the children of Ammon like Gomorrah, overgrown with nettles, and saltpits, and a desolation to eternity; the residue of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nation shall possess them.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:10 @ This shall they have in recompense for their pride; because they have reproached and made themselves great against the people of the Lord of hosts.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:11 @ Terrible will the Lord over them; for he will cause to vanish all the gods of the earth; and then shall prostrate themselves before him, every one from its place, all the isles of the nations.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:12 @ Also ye Ethiopians shall be those slain by my sword.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:13 @ And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and he will make Nineveh a desolate place, dry, like the wilderness.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:14 @ And there shall lie down in the midst of her flocks, all the beasts of the nations; both the pelican and the hedgehog shall lodge in the capitals of her columns; singingbirds shall sing in the windows; ruin shall be on the thresholds; for the cedar wainscoting shall be torn away.
sf_leeser_rev1@Zephaniah:2:15 @ This is the joyful city that dwelt in security, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none else beside me: how is she become desolate, a restingplace for beasts! Every one that passeth by her will hiss, and shake his hand.
