7 take note—I have stretched out my hand against you, and I will hand you over as plunder[a] to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands. I will destroy you; then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
A Prophecy Against Moab
8 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Moab[b] and Seir say, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations.” 9 So look, I am about to open up Moab’s flank,[c] eliminating the cities,[d] including its frontier cities,[e] the beauty of the land—Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.
