If Yahweh of hosts had not left us survivors, we would have been as few as Sodom, we would have become like Gomorrah.

Ah! [Those who are] wise in their own eyes and have understanding {in their view}!

But he does not think this, and his heart does not plan this. For [it is] in his heart to destroy and to cut off not a few nations.

But now Yahweh speaks, saying, "In three years, like [the] years of a hired worker, the glory of Moab will become contemptible, with all of the great multitude, and [the] remnant [will be] a few, small, not strong.

And the remainder of the number of the bows of the warriors of the sons of Kedar will be few." For Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken.

Therefore a curse devours [the] earth, and the inhabitants in it suffer for their guilt. Therefore [the] inhabitants of [the] earth burn, and {few men are left}.

There will no longer be a nursing infant {who lives only a few} days, or an old man who does not fill his days, for the boy will die {a hundred years old}, and the one who {fails to reach} {a hundred years} will be {considered} accursed.
