Zephaniah 2:8 - The Message

"I’ve heard the crude taunts of Moab,
   the mockeries flung by Ammon,
The cruel talk they’ve used to put down my people,
   their self-important strutting along Israel’s borders.
Therefore, as sure as I am the living God," says God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
   Israel’s personal God,
"Moab will become a ruin like Sodom,
   Ammon a ghost town like Gomorrah,
One a field of rocks, the other a sterile salt flat,
   a moonscape forever.
What’s left of my people will finish them off,
   will pick them clean and take over.
This is what they get for their bloated pride,
   their taunts and mockeries of the people
   of God-of-the-Angel-Armies.
God will be seen as truly terrible—a Holy Terror.
   All earth-made gods will shrivel up and blow away;
And everyone, wherever they are, far or near,
   will fall to the ground and worship him.
Also you Ethiopians,
   you, too, will die—I’ll see to it."
