25:8 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: ‘Moab 1 and Seir say, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations.” 25:9 So look, I am about to open up Moab’s flank, 2 eliminating the cities, 3 including its frontier cities, 4 the beauty of the land – Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim. 25:10 I will hand it over, 5 along with the Ammonites, 6 to the tribes 7 of the east, so that the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations. 25:11 I will execute judgments against Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
