8 I have heard the tauntingn of Moab

and the insults of the Ammonites,o

who have taunted my people

and threatened their territory.

9 Therefore, as I live—this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies,

the God of Israel—

Moab will be like Sodomp

and the Ammonites like Gomorrah:q

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.
