⁸ “I have heard the ^(A)taunting of Moab
And the ^(B)abusive speech of the sons of Ammon,
With which they have taunted My people
And ^(C)boasted against their territory.
⁹ Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord of armies,
The God of Israel,
“^(D)Moab will assuredly be like ^(E)Sodom,
And the sons of ^(F)Ammon like ^(G)Gomorrah—
Ground overgrown with weeds and full of salt mines,
And a permanent desolation.
The remnant of My people will ^(H)plunder them,
And the remainder of My nation will inherit them.”
