7 The coastland will belongto the remnant of the house of Judah;they will find pasture there.They will lie down in the eveningamong the houses of Ashkelon,for the Lord their God will return to themand restore their fortunes.
8 I have heard the taunting of Moaband the insults of the Ammonites, who have taunted My peopleand threatened their territory.
9 Therefore, as I live —this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts,the God of Israel —Moab will be like Sodom and the Ammonites like Gomorrah —a place overgrown with weeds,a salt pit, and a perpetual wasteland.The remnant of My people will plunder them;the remainder of My nation will dispossess them.
10 This is what they get for their pride,because they have taunted and acted arrogantly against the people of the Lord of Hosts.
11 The Lord will be terrifying to themwhen He starves all the gods of the earth.Then all the distant coastlands of the nationswill bow in worship to Him,each in its own place.
12 You Cushites will also be slain by My sword.
13 He will also stretch out His hand against the northand destroy Assyria;He will make Nineveh a desolate ruin, dry as the desert.
