I have heard the taunting(A) of Moab
and the insults of the Ammonites,(B)
who have taunted my people
and threatened their territory.
Therefore, as I live—
this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel—
Moab will be like Sodom(C)
and the Ammonites like Gomorrah:(D)
a place overgrown with weeds,
a salt pit, and a perpetual wasteland.
The remnant of my people will plunder them;
the remainder of my nation will dispossess them.
10 This is what they get for their pride,
because they have taunted and acted arrogantly(E)
against the people of the Lord of Armies.
11 The Lord will be terrifying to them
when he starves all the gods of the earth.
Then all the distant coasts and islands of the nations
will bow in worship to him,
each in its own place.

I have heard the taunting of Moab
        and the defamation of the Ammonites;
        they taunted my people
        and enlarged their borders.
Therefore, as I live—
    says the Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel—
        Moab will become like Sodom
        and the Ammonites like Gomorrah:
        a plot of weeds, salt pits, and devastation forever.
The few remaining from my people will plunder them;
        the rest of my nation will possess them.
10 This will happen on account of their pride,
        because they taunted and boasted over the people of the Lord of heavenly forces.
11 The Lord will terrify them;
        he will make all the gods of the earth disappear.
            All the coastlands of the nations will bow down to the Lord,
                each one in its own place.
