A Prophecy Against Moab

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Moab[a] and Seir say, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations.” So look, I am about to open up Moab’s flank,[b] eliminating the cities,[c] including its frontier cities,[d] the beauty of the land—Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim. 10 I will hand it over,[e] along with the Ammonites,[f] to the tribes[g] of the east, so that the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations. 11 I will execute judgments against Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

Prophesy Against Moab

‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Because (A)Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’ therefore, behold, I am going to open the flank of Moab by its cities, by its cities which are on its [a]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 Yahweh.”
