* "
I have heard the taunts of Moab and the revilings of the Ammonites ,
how they have taunted my people and made boasts against their territory .
*
Therefore ,
as I live ,"
says the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel , "
Moab shall become like Sodom ,
and the Ammonites like Gomor '
rah ,
a land possessed by nettles and salt pits ,
and a waste for ever .
The remnant of my people shall plunder them ,
and the survivors of my nation shall possess them ."
*
This shall be their lot in return for their pride ,
because they scoffed and boasted against the people of the LORD of hosts .
*
The LORD will be terrible against them ;
yea ,
he will famish all the gods of the earth ,
and to him shall bow down ,
each in its place ,
all the lands of the nations .
