Context of Zephaniah 2:10
8I have heard the taunts of Moab and the jeers of the children of Ammon, who taunted My people and expanded on their border. 9Therefore, as I live, declares Adonai-Tzva’ot God of Israel, Moab will be like Sodom and Ammon like Gomorrah— a possession of weeds and a salt pit, a perpetual wasteland. The remainder of My people will plunder them. The remnant of My nation will dispossess them. This is what they will get for their pride, for they have taunted and expanded against the people of Adonai-Tzva’ot. 11Adonai will be fearsome against them. For all the gods of the earth He will make waste away. To Him will bow, each from its place, the islands of the nations. 12You Ethiopians too will be slain by My sword.
