⁷ That land will belong
    to the remnant^(A) of the people of Judah;
    there they will find pasture.
In the evening they will lie down
    in the houses of Ashkelon.
The Lord their God will care for them;
    he will restore their fortunes.^[a](B)

⁸ “I have heard the insults^(C) of Moab^(D)
    and the taunts of the Ammonites,^(E)
who insulted^(F) my people
    and made threats against their land.^(G)
9 Therefore, as surely as I live,”
    declares the Lord Almighty,
    the God of Israel,
“surely Moab^(H) will become like Sodom,^(I)
    the Ammonites^(J) like Gomorrah—
a place of weeds and salt pits,
    a wasteland forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder^(K) them;
    the survivors^(L) of my nation will inherit their land.^(M)”
