Even the breeding of nettles— A forsaken place of nettles. Houbigant. Instead of my people, in the last clause, Houbigant reads my nation.

Zephaniah 2:9

9 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.
