10 So Lot raised his eyes and saw the whole District* of the Jordan,+ that all of it was a well-watered region before Jehovah brought Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah to ruin, like the garden* of Jehovah,+ like the land of Egypt as far as Zoʹar.*+

18 Just as in the overthrow of Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah and her neighbor [towns],”+ Jehovah has said, “no man will dwell there, and no son of mankind* will reside in her as an alien.+

9 Therefore, as I am alive,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, “Moʹab herself will become just like Sodʹom,+ and the sons of Amʹmon+ like Go·morʹrah, a place possessed by nettles, and a salt pit, and a desolate waste, even to time indefinite.+ The remaining ones of my people will plunder them, and the remnant of my own nation will take possession of them.+
