Поэтому верно, как и то, что Я живу, — возвещает Господь Сил, Бог Израиля, — с Моавом будет то же, что и с Содомом, с аммонитским народом — что и с Гоморрой, — станут царством крапивы, соляной ямой и мертвой пустошью навеки. Оставшиеся из Моего народа разграбят их, уцелевшие из Моего народа унаследуют их землю».
