Therefore, as I live,
    says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel,
surely Moab will be like Sodom,
    and the Ammonites like Gomorrah—
a land of weeds and salt pits,
    and a perpetual desolation.
The remnant of My people will plunder them,
    and the survivors of My nation will possess them.

10 This will they have for their pride,
    because they taunted and boasted against
    the people of the Lord of Hosts.
11 The Lord will be dreadful to them,
    for He will weaken all the gods of the earth;
men will worship Him, every one from his place,
    all the lands of the nations.

Therefore, as surely as I live,”
    declares the Lord Almighty,
    the God of Israel,
“surely Moab(A) will become like Sodom,(B)
    the Ammonites(C) like Gomorrah—
a place of weeds and salt pits,
    a wasteland forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder(D) them;
    the survivors(E) of my nation will inherit their land.(F)

10 This is what they will get in return for their pride,(G)
    for insulting(H) and mocking
    the people of the Lord Almighty.(I)
11 The Lord will be awesome(J) to them
    when he destroys all the gods(K) of the earth.(L)
Distant nations will bow down to him,(M)
    all of them in their own lands.
