ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ A Message Rebuking Moab and Seir“This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Moab and Seir are claiming, “Judah’s citizens are just like every other nation,” ⁹ therefore you’d better watch out! I’m going to tear open Moab’s flanks, starting with its frontier cities—the very glory of the nation!—including Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim. ¹⁰ I’m going to turn these cities over to men from the East, who will dominate you. You will become their property. As a result, Ammon will be forgotten as a nation. ¹¹ I’m also going to punish Moab, and that’s how they’ll learn that I am the LORD.’”
¹² The Coming Destruction of Edom“This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Edom has made it their practice to seek extraordinary vengeance against Judah’s citizens, and by doing so has incurred extraordinary guilt by taking revenge against them,’ ¹³ therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I’m going to raise my clenched fist in Edom’s direction and eliminate every single human being and animal from Edom! I’m going to turn everything into a wasteland, starting with Teman, and Dedan will fall by violence! ¹⁴ I’m going to inundate Edom with my retribution, using my people Israel to carry it out! They’ll deliver my anger, acting as an agent of my fury. Edom will come to know my vengeance,’ declares the Lord GOD.’”
¹⁵ A Message Condemning Philistia“This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Philistia has made it their practice to carry out retribution, accompanied by extraordinary malice in their personal vendettas—vendettas that spring from their everlasting hostility— ¹⁶ this is what the Lord GOD says: “Look out! I’m raising my clenched fist in Philistia’s direction. I’m going to execute the Cherethites and destroy what’s left of the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. ¹⁷ I’ll take vengeance on them, punishing them severely in my anger. They’ll know that I am the LORD when I take my vengeance on them.”’”
