8. “I have heard the taunts of the Moabitesand the insults of the Ammonites,mocking my peopleand invading their borders.
9. Now, as surely as I live,”says the lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,“Moab and Ammon will be destroyed—destroyed as completely as Sodom and Gomorrah.Their land will become a place of stinging nettles,salt pits, and eternal desolation.The remnant of my people will plunder themand take their land.”
10. They will receive the wages of their pride,for they have scoffed at the people of the lord of Heaven’s Armies.
11. The lord will terrify themas he destroys all the gods in the land.Then nations around the world will worship the lord,each in their own land.
12. “You Ethiopians will also be slaughteredby my sword,” says the lord.
