Derfor, så sant jeg lever, sier Herren over Hærskarenes Gud, Israels Gud, skal Moab bli som Sodoma, og ammonittene som Gomorra, en besittelse av nesler, saltegraver og en evig ødemark. Resten av mitt folk skal plyndre dem, og de overlevende av mitt folk skal arve dem.
Therefore as I live, says Yahweh of Hosts, 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.
