8 “I have heard the reproach by Moʹab+ and the insults of the Amʹmon·ites,+

Who have taunted my people and made boasts against their territory.+

 9 Therefore as surely as I am alive,” declares Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel,

“Moʹab will become just like Sodʹom,+

And the Amʹmon·ites like Go·morʹrah,+

A place of nettles, a salt pit, and a permanent wasteland.+

The remaining ones of my people will plunder them,

And the remnant of my nation will dispossess them.
