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.’”

Prophecy Against Moab and Seir
8 “Thus says the Lord God: Because (A)Moab and (B)Seir[a] said, ‘Behold, the (C)house of Judah is like all the other nations,’ 9 therefore (D)I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities, from its cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, (E)Beth-jeshimoth, (F)Baal-meon, and (G)Kiriathaim. 10 I will give it (H)along with the Ammonites (I)to the people of the East as a possession, (J)that the Ammonites may be remembered no more among the nations, 11 (K)and I will execute judgments upon Moab. (L)Then they will know that I am the Lord.
