이스라엘의 하느님, 만군의 주님의 말씀이다. 그러므로 내가 살아 있는 한 모압은 소돔처럼 되고 암몬 자손들은 고모라처럼 되리라. 쐐기풀이 자라는 땅이 되고 소금 구덩이가 되어 영원한 폐허가 되리라. 내 백성의 남은 자들이 그들을 털고 내 민족의 살아남은 자들이 그것들을 차지하리라.

Zephaniah wrote this verse around 625 BCE during the reign of King Josiah in Judah. It was a time when surrounding nations like Moab and Ammon were threatening Judah, so Zephaniah warned them that God would punish their wickedness.
