8 “Ia have heard the reproach of Moab,
And bthe insults of the people of Ammon,
With which they have reproached My people,
And cmade arrogant threats against their borders.
And bthe insults of the people of Ammon,
With which they have reproached My people,
And cmade arrogant threats against their borders.
9 Therefore, as I live,”
Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
“Surely aMoab shall be like Sodom,
And bthe people of Ammon like Gomorrah—
cOverrun1 with weeds and saltpits,
And a1 perpetual desolation.
The residue of My people shall plunder them,
And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”

For He will reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth;
aPeople shall worship Him,
Each one from his place,
Indeed all bthe shores of the nations.
