⁶ For he will be like a ^(A)bush in the desert,
And will not see when prosperity comes,
But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
A ^(B)land of salt that is not inhabited.

⁹ Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord of armies,
The God of Israel,
“^(A)Moab will assuredly be like ^(B)Sodom,
And the sons of ^(C)Ammon like ^(D)Gomorrah—
Ground overgrown with weeds and full of salt mines,
And a permanent desolation.
The remnant of My people will ^(E)plunder them,
And the remainder of My nation will inherit them.”
