Together they will (C)plunder the sons of the east;
[a]They will possess (D)Edom and (E)Moab,
And the sons of Ammon will be [b]subject to them.

Moab

‘Thus says the Lord God, “Because (A)Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’ therefore, behold, I am going to [a]deprive the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities which are on its [b]frontiers, the glory of the land, (B)Beth-jeshimoth, (C)Baal-meon and (D)Kiriathaim, 10 and I will give it for a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the (E)sons of the east, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations. 11 Thus I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.”

Judgment on Judah and Israel

Thus says the Lord,

“For three transgressions of (A)Moab and for four
I will not [a]revoke its punishment,
Because he (B)burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
“So I will send fire upon Moab
And it will consume the citadels of (C)Kerioth;
And Moab will die amid (D)tumult,
With [b]war cries and the sound of a trumpet.
“I will also cut off the [c](E)judge from her midst
And slay all her (F)princes with him,” says the Lord.

“I have heard the [a](A)taunting of Moab
And the (B)revilings of the sons of Ammon,
With which they have [b]taunted My people
And [c](C)become arrogant against their territory.
“Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord of hosts,
The God of Israel,
“Surely (D)Moab will be like (E)Sodom
And the sons of (F)Ammon like (G)Gomorrah—
A place possessed by nettles and salt pits,
And a perpetual desolation.
The remnant of My people will (H)plunder them
And the remainder of My nation will inherit them.”

10 This they will have in return for their (I)pride, because they have [d](J)taunted and [e]become arrogant against the people of the Lord of hosts. 11 The Lord will be (K)terrifying to them, for He will [f]starve (L)all the gods of the earth; and all the (M)coastlands of the nations will (N)bow down to Him, everyone from his own place.
