Moab and Ammon Will Be Punished

“I have heard the insults of the country of Moab
    and the threats of the people of Ammon.
They have insulted my people
    and have taken their land.”
So the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, says,
    “As surely as I live,
Moab will be destroyed like Sodom,
    and Ammon will be destroyed like Gomorrah[a]
a heap of weeds, a pit of salt,
    and a ruin forever.
Those of my people who are left alive will take whatever they want from them;
    those who are left from my nation will take their land.”

10 This is what Moab and Ammon get for being proud,
    because they insulted and made fun of the people of the Lord All-Powerful.
