6. The seacoast will become pastureland,with wells for shepherds and pens for the flocks.
7. The coast will belong to the survivors from the house of Judah;they will pasture beside the sea;in the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down in the evening.The Lord their God will visit them and restore their possessions.
8. I have heard the taunting of Moaband the defamation of the Ammonites;they taunted my peopleand enlarged their borders.
9. Therefore, as I live—says the Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel—Moab will become like Sodomand the Ammonites like Gomorrah:a plot of weeds, salt pits, and devastation forever.The few remaining from my people will plunder them;the rest of my nation will possess them.
10. This will happen on account of their pride,because they taunted and boasted over the people of the Lord of heavenly forces.
11. The Lord will terrify them;he will make all the gods of the earth disappear.All the coastlands of the nations will bow down to the Lord, each one in its own place.
12. Moreover, you too, Cushites, will be pierced by my sword.
13. He will stretch out his hand against the northand will cause Assyria to perish.Let him make Nineveh a desolation,a desolate place like the wilderness.
