Derfor, så sant jeg lever, sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud, Israels Gud: Sannelig, Moab skal bli som Sodoma, og ammonittene som Gomorra, fylt av brennesle og saltgroper, en ødemark for evig. Mitt folks etterlevninger skal ta dem, og mine etterkommeres rest skal arve dem.
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.
