8
I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
8
"I've heard the crude taunts of Moab, the mockeries flung by Ammon, The cruel talk they've used to put down my people, their self-important strutting along Israel's borders.
8
I have heard the taunting of Moab and the insults of the Ammonites, who have taunted My people and threatened their territory.
Zephaniah 2:8 In-Context
6
The land by the sea will become pastures having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks.
7
That land will belong to the remnant 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.
8
“I have heard the insults of Moab and the taunts of the Ammonites, who insulted my people and made threats against their land.
9
Therefore, as surely as I live,” declares the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, “surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah— a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.”
10
This is what they will get in return for their pride, for insulting and mocking the people of the LORD Almighty.
