| 9 therefore I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth-jesh'imoth, Ba'al-me'on, and Kiriatha'im. | 9 therefore I will expose the flank of Moab, beginning at its frontier towns--Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon and Kiriathaim--the glory of that land. |
| 10 I will give it along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, that it may be remembered no more among the nations, | 10 I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations; |
| 11 and I will execute judgments upon Moab. Then they will know that I am the LORD. | 11 and I will inflict punishment on Moab. Then they will know that I am the LORD.' " |
