This is what the Lord says:

“The people of Moab have sinned again and again,[a]
    and I will not let them go unpunished!
They desecrated the bones of Edom’s king,
    burning them to ashes.

    and all the fortresses in Kerioth will be destroyed.
The people will fall in the noise of battle,
    as the warriors shout and the ram’s horn sounds.
