8: I heard scorns [G3680] of Moab, and [G2532] ill-treatment by sons [G5207] of Ammon, in [G1722] which [G3739] they berated [G3679] the [G3588] people [G2992] of me [G1473], and [G2532] magnified themselves [G3170] over [G1909] the [G3588] my borders [G3725][G1473].
9: On account of [G1223] this [G3778], [as] I live [G2198][G1473], says [G3004] Boss '[G2962] of for the [G3588]ces [G1411], the [G3588] God '[G2316] of Israel, that [G1360] Moab as [G5613] Sodom will be , and [G2532] sons [G5207] of Ammon as [G5613] Gomorrah, and [G2532] Damascus ceasing [G1587]. And [it will be [G2532] as [G5613] a heap of salt into [G1519] the [G3588] age (term) `. And [G2532] the [G3588] remnants [G2645] of my people [G2992][G1473] will plunder [G1283] them [G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] remnants [G2645] of my tradition-people (ethnic) '[G1484][G1473] will inherit [G2816] them [G1473].
10: This [G3778] [is] to them [G1473] for the [G3588]ir insolence [G5196][G1473], because [G1360] they berated [G3679] and [G2532] magnified [themselves [G3170] over [G1909] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] almighty [G3841].

12: And [G2532] you [G1473], O Ethiopians, slain of my broadsword [G4501][G1473] are .
13: And [G2532] he will stretch out [G1614] the [G3588] his hand [G5495][G1473] against [G1909] north [G1005]. And [G2532] he will destroy the [G3588] Assyrian, and [G2532] he will establish [G5087] the [G3588] Nineveh for [G1519] extinction a waterless , as [G5613] a wilderness [G2048].

For [G1360] [was as the] cedar [G2748] the [G3588] her height [G1473].
15: This is [G1473] the [G3588] city [G4172] the [G3588] heedless , the [G3588] [one] dwelling [G2730] upon [G1909] hope [G1680], who [G3739] says [G3004] in [G1722] the [G3588] her heart [G2588][G1473], I [G1473] am , and [G2532] there is none [G3756] after [G3326] me [G1473] any longer [G2089]. O how [G4459] it was [G1096] for [G1519] extinction , a pasture [G3542] of wild beasts [G2342]. Every one [G3956][G3739] traveling [G1279] through [G1223] her [G1473] will whistle and [G2532] will shake [G2795] the [G3588] his hands [G5495][G1473].
