I have heard these taunts of Moab,
    and the revilings of the Ammonites,
by which they have reproached My people,
    and made boasts against their territory.
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.

    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.

    the people of the Lord Almighty.(N)
