Zephaniah 2:9

Therefore, as surely as I live,
declares (says, proclaims) the Lord of hosts (Yahweh Sebaot), the God of Israel (Elohim),
Moab shall be like Sodom
and Ammon like Gomorrah
they shall become a possession for weeds and a salt pit,
an eternal desolation.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them;
the remnant of my people shall depopulate them.

διὰ τοῦτο ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ διότι Μωαβ ὡς Σοδομα ἔσται καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Αμμων ὡς Γομορρα καὶ Δαμασκὸς ἐκλελειμμένη ὡς θιμωνιὰ ἅλωνος καὶ ἠφανισμένη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι λαοῦ μου διαρπῶνται αὐτούς καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι ἔθνους μου κληρονομήσουσιν αὐτούς
