9 Therefore, as I live,”
Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
“Surely (A)Moab shall be like Sodom,

And a [b]perpetual desolation.
The residue of My people shall plunder them,
And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”

9 Therefore, as surely as I live,”
declares the Lord Almighty,
the God of Israel,
