Zephaniah 2:8-11

8I have heardH8085 the reproachH2781 of MoabH4124, and the revilingsH1421 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, whereby they have reproachedH2778 my peopleH5971, and magnifiedH1431 themselves against their borderH1366. 9Therefore as I liveH2416, saithH5002 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Surely MoabH4124 shall be as SodomH5467, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 as GomorrahH6017, even the breedingH4476 of nettlesH2738, and saltpitsH4417H4379, and a perpetualH5769H5704 desolationH8077: the residueH7611 of my peopleH5971 shall spoilH962 them, and the remnantH3499 of my peopleH1471 shall possessH5157 them. 10This shall they have for their prideH1347, because they have reproachedH2778 and magnifiedH1431 themselves against the peopleH5971 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635. 11YhwhH3068 will be terribleH3372 unto them: for he will famishH7329 all the godsH430 of the earthH776; and men shall worshipH7812 him, every oneH376 from his placeH4725, even all the islesH339 of the heathenH1471.1
