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 ^[a]without inhabitant.

⁹ “Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord of hosts,
The God of Israel,
“Surely ^(A)Moab will be like ^(B)Sodom
And the sons of ^(C)Ammon like ^(D)Gomorrah—
A place possessed by nettles and salt pits,
And a perpetual desolation.
The remnant of My people will ^(E)plunder them
And the remainder of My nation will inherit them.”
