Revised Version 1885

Zephaniah 2:7-12 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

7. And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed their flocks thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for the Lord their God shall visit them, and bring again their captivity.

8. I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.

9. Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my nation shall inherit them.

10. This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord of hosts.

11. The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the nations.

12. Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
