Zephaniah:2:8-11

*
I have heard the reproach of Moab ,
and the revilings of the sons of Ammon ,
who have reproached my people ,
and have magnified themselves up to their bounds .
*
Wherefore ,
as I live ,
declareth Yahweh of hosts ,
God of Israel ,
Surely ,
Moab ,
like Sodom ,
shall become ,
and ,
the sons of Ammon ,
like Gomorrah ,
a possession for the thorn ,
and a pit of salt ,
Yea a desolation ,
unto times age-abiding :
The remnant of my people ,
shall make of them a prey ,
and ,
the residue of my nation ,
shall inherit them .
*
This ,
shall they have ,
instead of their pride ,
because they reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of hosts .
*
Terrible will Yahweh be against them ,
for he hath caused to waste away all the gods of the earth ,
that men may bow down to him ,
every one from his place ,
all the coastlands of the nations :
