Of nettles — Not cultivated, but over — run with nettles. Salt — pits — A dry, barren earth, fit only to dig salt out of. The residue — That return out of Babylon. Possess them — Settle upon those parts of their lands, that are fit for habitation.

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.
