Zephaniah 2:8-11
New American Standard Bible
8 “I have heard the (A)taunting of Moab
And the (B)abusive speech of the sons of Ammon,
With which they have taunted My people
And (C)boasted against their territory.
9 Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord of armies,
The God of Israel,
“(D)Moab will assuredly be like (E)Sodom,
And the sons of (F)Ammon like (G)Gomorrah—
Ground overgrown with weeds and full of salt mines,
And a permanent desolation.
The remnant of My people will (H)plunder them,
And the remainder of My nation will inherit them.”
10 This they will have in return for their (I)arrogance, because they have (J)taunted and boasted against the people of the Lord of armies. 11 The Lord will be (K)terrifying to them, for He will [a]starve (L)all the gods of the earth; and all the (M)coastlands of the nations will (N)bow down to Him, everyone from his own place.

Zephaniah 2:8-11
Revised Standard Version
8 “I have heard the taunts of Moab
and the revilings of the Ammonites,
how they have taunted my people
and made boasts against their territory.
9 Therefore, as I live,” says the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel,
“Moab shall become like Sodom,
and the Ammonites like Gomor′rah,
a land possessed by nettles and salt pits,
and a waste for ever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.”
10 This shall be their lot in return for their pride,
because they scoffed and boasted
against the people of the Lord of hosts.
11 The Lord will be terrible against them;
yea, he will famish all the gods of the earth,
and to him shall bow down,
each in its place,
all the lands of the nations.
