Read Full ChapterTherefore, as surely as I live,” declares the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, “surely Moab will be like Sodom and the Ammonites like Gomorrah—a place of weeds and salt pits, a perpetual wasteland. The remnant of My people will plunder them; the remainder of My nation will dispossess them.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Therefore as I live, says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.

Strong's King James
"Therefore as I live," declares יהוה (Yahweh) Tzva'ot, Isra'el's God,
"Surely, Mo'av will be like S’dom, the sons of ‘Amon like ‘Amora,
A place of weeds, and salt pits, a wasteland forever,
The survivors of My people will plunder them,
What's left of My nation will inherit them."
The F.O.G
Therefore, I live, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Surely, Moab is as Sodom, And the sons of Ammon as Gomorrah, An overrunning of nettles and salt-pits, And a desolation—unto the age. A residue of My people do seize them, And a remnant of My nation inherit them.
