Sofonia 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Zephaniah 2:10

This shall they have for their pride
This calamity shall come upon their land, the land of the Moabites and Ammonites, for their pride, which often goes before a fall; and has frequently been the cause of the ruin of kingdoms and states, and of particular persons; and indeed seems to have been the first sin of the apostate angels, and of fallen man. Of the pride of Moab see ( Isaiah 16:6 ) : because they have reproached and magnified [themselves] against the
people of the Lord of hosts;
they looked with disdain upon them, as greatly below them; and spoke contemptibly of them, of their nation, and religion; and "made" themselves "great", and set up themselves "above" them, opened their mouths wide, and gave their tongues great liberties in blaspheming and reviling them: what was done to them is taken by the Lord as done to himself; see ( Jeremiah 48:42 ) .

Sofonia 2:10 In-Context

8 Io ho udito gl’insulti di Moab e gli oltraggi de’ figliuoli d’Ammon, che hanno insultato il mio popolo e si sono ingranditi, invadendo i suoi confini.
9 Perciò, com’è vero ch’io vivo, dice l’Eterno degli eserciti, l’Iddio d’Israele, Moab sarà come Sodoma, e i figliuoli d’Ammon come Gomorra, un dominio d’ortiche, una salina, una desolazione in perpetuo. Il resto del mio popolo li saccheggerà, e il residuo della mia nazione li possederà.
10 Questo avverrà loro per il loro orgoglio, perché hanno insultato e trattato con insolenza il popolo dell’Eterno degli eserciti.
11 L’Eterno sarà terribile contro di loro; perché annienterà tutti gli dèi della terra; e tutte le isole delle nazioni lo adoreranno, ciascuno dal luogo ove si trova.
12 Voi pure, Etiopi, sarete uccisi dalla mia spada.
