Sophonias 2:6-10 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. And the sea coast shall be the resting place of shepherds, and folds for cattle:

7. And it shall be the portion of him that shall remain of the house of Juda, there they shall feed: in the houses of Ascalon they shall rest in the evening: because the Lord their God will visit them, and bring back their captivity.

8. I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the blasphemies of the children of Ammon, with which they reproached my people, and have magnified themselves upon their borders.

9. Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha, the dryness of thorns, and heaps of salt, and a desert even for ever: the remnant of my people shall make a spoil of them, and the residue of my nation shall possess them.

10. This shall befall them for their pride: because they have blasphemed, and have been magnified against the people of the Lord of hosts.
