Zephaniah 2:7 in Context — Zephaniah 2

5 Ai dos que moram à margem do mar, da nação dos quereteus! A palavra do SENHOR é contra vós, ó Canaã, terra dos filisteus; e eu vos destruirei, até que não haja morador.

6 E a margem do mar se tornará pastagens, com abrigos de pastores, e currais de rebanhos.

7 E aquela região será para o restante da casa de Judá, para que nela apascentem; ao anoitecer se deitarão nas casas de Asquelom, porque o SENHOR, seu Deus, os visitará, e os restaurará de seu infortúnio.

8 Eu ouvi os escárnios de Moabe, e os insultos dos filhos de Amom com que escarneceram a meu povo, e se engrandeceram contra suas fronteiras.

9 Portanto vivo eu,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel, que Moabe será como Sodoma, e os filhos de Amom como Gomorra; campo de urtigas, e mina de sal, e desolação perpétua; o restante de meu povo os saqueará, e o restante de minha nação tomará posse daquilo que era deles.
