I have heard the taunts of Moab
and the jeers of the children of Ammon,
    who taunted My people
and expanded on their border.
Therefore, as I live,
    declares Adonai-Tzva’ot God of Israel,
    Moab will be like Sodom
    and Ammon like Gomorrah—
    a possession of weeds and a salt pit,
    a perpetual wasteland.
    The remainder of My people will plunder them.
    The remnant of My nation will dispossess them.
10 This is what they will get for their pride,
for they have taunted and expanded
against the people of Adonai-Tzva’ot.

    a wasteland forever.

    the people of the Lord Almighty.(N)
