Zephaniah 2:8 in Context — Zephaniah 2

6 Les côtes de la mer seront des pâturages, des demeures pour les bergers, Et des parcs pour les troupeaux.

7 Ces côtes seront pour les restes de la maison de Juda; C’est là qu’ils paîtront; Ils reposeront le soir dans les maisons d’Askalon; Car l’Éternel, leur Dieu, ne les oubliera pas, Et il ramènera leurs captifs.

8 J’ai entendu les injures de Moab Et les outrages des enfants d’Ammon, Quand ils insultaient mon peuple Et s’élevaient avec arrogance contre ses frontières.

9 C’est pourquoi, je suis vivant! Dit l’Éternel des armées, le Dieu d’Israël, Moab sera comme Sodome, et les enfants d’Ammon comme Gomorrhe, Un lieu couvert de ronces, une mine de sel, un désert pour toujours; Le reste de mon peuple les pillera, Le reste de ma nation les possédera.

10 Cela leur arrivera pour leur orgueil, Parce qu’ils ont insulté et traité avec arrogance Le peuple de l’Éternel des armées.
