And dthe revilings of ethe children of Ammon,
Whereby they have reproached my people,
And fmagnified themselves gagainst their border.
9Therefore has I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
Surely cMoab shall be ias Sodom, and ethe children of Ammon ias Gomorrah,
Even the breeding of knettles, and isaltpits, and la perpetual desolation:
mThe residue of my people shall spoil them,
And the remnant of nmy people shall possess them.

“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.
Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel,
“Moab shall become like Sodom,
and the Ammonites like Gomorrah,
a land possessed by nettles and salt pits,
and a waste forever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.”

the Ammonites like Gomorrah—
a place of weeds and salt pits,
a wasteland forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder them;
the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.”

I have heard the taunting of Moab
and the insults of the Ammonites,
who have taunted my people
and threatened their territory.
Therefore, as I live—this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies,
the God of Israel—
Moab will be like Sodom
and the Ammonites like Gomorrah:
a place overgrown with weeds,
a salt pit, and a perpetual wasteland.
The remnant of my people will plunder them;
the remainder of my nation will dispossess them.

“I have heard the taunts of the Moabites
and the insults of the Ammonites,
mocking my people
and invading their borders.
Now, as surely as I live,”
says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,
“Moab and Ammon will be destroyed—
destroyed as completely as Sodom and Gomorrah.
Their land will become a place of stinging nettles,
salt pits, and eternal desolation.
The remnant of my people will plunder them
and take their land.”
