9Now, 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.”
10They will receive the wages of their pride,
for they have scoffed at the people of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
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.”
This shall be their lot in return for their pride,
because they taunted and boasted
against the people of the Lord of hosts.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Therefore, as surely as I live,”
declares the Lord Almighty,
the God of Israel,
“surely Moab will become like Sodom,
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.”
This is what they will get in return for their pride,
for insulting and mocking
the people of the Lord Almighty.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
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.
This is what they get for their pride,
because they have taunted and acted arrogantly
against the people of the Lord of Armies.

“Therefore, as I live”—a declaration of Yahweh of hosts,
the God of Israel—
“Moab shall be as Sodom,
and the Ammonites like Gomorrah,
a place of weeds and salt pits
and a desolation forever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
and the remainder of my nation shall possess them.”
This shall be for them in place of their pride
because they mocked and boasted
against the people of Yahweh of hosts.

KJV 1900King James Version
Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah,
Even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation:
The residue of my people shall spoil them,
And the remnant of my people shall possess them.
This shall they have for their pride,
Because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord of hosts.
