7. That land will belongto the remnant of the people of Judah;there they will find pasture.In the evening they will lie downin the houses of Ashkelon.The Lord their God will care for them;he will restore their fortunes.
8. ‘I have heard the insults of Moaband the taunts of the Ammonites,who insulted my peopleand made threats against their land.
9. Therefore, as surely as I live,’declares the Lord Almighty,the God of Israel,‘surely Moab will become like Sodom,the Ammonites like Gomorrah –a place of weeds and salt pits,a wasteland for ever.The remnant of my people will plunder them;the survivors of my nation will inherit their land.’
