Ezekiel 25:8-11
New English Translation
A Prophecy Against Moab
8 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Moab[a] 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,[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.’”
