Ezekiel 25:7-9
International Standard Version
7 therefore you’d better[a] watch out! I’m raising a clenched fist[b] in your direction! I’m about to feed you to the surrounding[c] nations as war plunder. I’m going to eliminate you as a nation and kill off those of you who survive to live in other[d] countries. I’m going to destroy you, and that’s how you’ll learn that I am the Lord.’”
A Message Rebuking Moab and Seir
8 “This is what the Lord God says: ‘Because Moab and Seir are claiming, “Judah’s citizens are[e] just like every other[f] nation,” 9 therefore you’d better watch out! I’m going to tear open Moab’s flanks, starting with its frontier cities—the very glory of the nation!—including Beth-jeshimoth,[g] Baal-meon,[h] and Kiriathaim.[i]
