Therefore, as I live, says 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 for ever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
    and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.
10 This shall be their lot in return for their pride,
    because they scoffed and boasted
    against the people of the Lord of hosts.
11 The Lord will be terrible against them;
    he will shrivel all the gods of the earth,
and to him shall bow down,
    each in its place,
    all the coasts and islands 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.
