Ezekiel 25:8-11

8 The Sovereign Lord said, "Because Moab has said that Judah is like all the other nations, ¹

9 I will let the cities that defend the border of Moab be attacked, including even the finest cities - Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.

10 I will let the tribes of the eastern desert conquer Moab, together with Ammon, so that Moab will no longer be a nation.

11 I will punish Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord."
