* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.
Therefore, 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.
World English Bible (WEB)
Therefore as I live{H2416}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, Surely Moab{H4124} shall be as Sodom{H5467}, and the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} as Gomorrah{H6017}, even the breeding{H4476} of nettles{H2738}, and saltpits{H4379}{H4417}, and a perpetual{H5704}{H5769} desolation{H8077}: the residue{H7611} of my people{H5971} shall spoil{H962}{(H8799)} them, and the remnant{H3499} of my people{H1471} shall possess{H5157}{(H8799)} 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 Paraphrase
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.
