⁸ “I^(A) have heard the reproach of Moab,
And ^(B)the insults of the people of Ammon,
With which they have reproached My people,
And ^(C)made arrogant threats against their borders.
⁹ Therefore, as I live,”
Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
“Surely ^(D)Moab shall be like Sodom,
And ^(E)the people of Ammon like Gomorrah—
^(F)Overrun^[a] with weeds and saltpits,
And a ^[b]perpetual desolation.
The residue of My people shall plunder them,
And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”

¹⁰ This they shall have ^(G)for their pride,
Because they have reproached and made arrogant threats
Against the people of the Lord of hosts.
¹¹ The Lord will be awesome to them,
For He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth;
^(H)People shall worship Him,
Each one from his place,
Indeed all ^(I)the shores of the nations.
