“I have heard the (A)reproach of Moab
And the (B)revilings of the sons of Ammon,
With which they have reproached My people
And (C)magnified themselves against their territory.

And a perpetual desolation.
The remnant of My people will (H)plunder them,
And the remainder of My nation will inherit them.”
