II] :I have heard the reproach of Moab,
 * And the revilings of the children of Ammon,
 * Whereby they have reproached my people,
 * And magnified themselves against their border.
 * Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
 * Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah,
 * Even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation:
 * The residue of my people shall spoil them,
 * And the remnant of my people shall possess them.
 * This shall they have for their pride,
 * Because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord of hosts.
 * The Lord will be terrible unto them:
 * For he will famish all the gods of the earth;
 * And men shall worship him, every one from his place,
 * Even all the isles of the heathen.


 * Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
 * And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria;
 * And will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
 * And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations:
