Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha, the dryness of thorns, and heaps of salt, and a desert even for ever: the remnant of my people shall make a spoil of them, and the residue of my nation shall possess them.

10 This shall befall them for their pride: because they have blasphemed, and have been magnified against the people of the Lord of hosts.

11 The Lord shall be terrible upon them, and shall consume all the gods of the earth: and they shall adore him every man from his own place, all the islands of the Gentiles.

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.
