Therefore as I live, said 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 salt pits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.

Verse Explanation
Moab and Ammon will become like Sodom and Gomorrah, their land overtaken by weeds and salt, because of their pride and hostility toward God's people, while the remnant of Judah will eventually possess their territory.
History
Biblical geography: Sodom and Gomorrah became traditional symbols of catastrophic divine judgment.
