"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."

"She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God."

"That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,"

"This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand."

"Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;"

"Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger."

"Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law."
