"I have heardh8085 the  1 atauntingh2781 of Moabh4124 And the  brevilingsh1421 of the sonsh1121 of Ammonh5983, With whichh834 they have  2tauntedh2778a My peopleh5971a And  3 cbecomeh1431 arroganth1431 againsth5921 their territoryh1366.

9

"Thereforeh3651, as I liveh2416a," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, The Godh430 of Israelh3478, "Surelyh3588  aMoabh4124 will be like  bSodomh5467 And the sonsh1121 of  cAmmonh5983 like  dGomorrahh6017-- A placeh4476 possessedh4476 by nettlesh2738 and salth4417 pitsh4379, And a perpetualh5769 desolationh8077. The remnanth7611 of My peopleh5971a will  eplunderh962 them And the remainderh3499a of My nationh1471 will inherith5157 them."

10

Thish2088 they will have in returnh8478 for their  aprideh1347b, becauseh3588 they have  1 btauntedh2778a and  2becomeh1431 arroganth1431 againsth5921 the peopleh5971a of the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.

11

The LORDh3068 will be  aterrifyingh3372a to them, for He will  1starveh7329  ballh3605 the godsh430 of the earthh776; and allh3605 the  ccoastlandsh339 of the nationsh1471 will  dbowh7812 downh7812 to Him, everyoneh376 from his own placeh4725.

12

"You alsoh1571, O  aEthiopiansh3569, will be slainh2491a by My swordh2719."

13

And He will  astretchh5186 out His handh3027 againsth5921 the northh6828 And destroyh6  bAssyriah804b, And He will makeh7760  cNinevehh5210 a desolationh8077, Parchedh6723 like the wildernessh4057b.

14

Flocksh5739 will lieh7257 downh7257 in her midsth8432,  1Allh3605 beastsh2421b which range in herdsh1471; Bothh1571 the  2 apelicanh6893 and the hedgehogh7090 Will lodgeh3885a in  3the topsh3730 of her pillarsh3730;  4Birdsh6963 will singh7891 in the windowh2474, Desolationh2721b will be on the thresholdh5592b; For He has laidh6168 bareh6168 the cedarh731 workh731.

Thish2088 is the  aexultanth5947 cityh5892b Which  bdwellsh3427 securelyh983, Who saysh559 in her hearth3824, " cI am, and thereh657 is noh657 oneh657 besidesh5750 me." Howh349 she has becomeh1961 a  ddesolationh8047, A restingh4769 placeh4769 for beastsh2421b!  eEveryoneh3605 who passesh5674a by her will hissh8319 And waveh5128 his handh3027 in contempt.
