Isaiah 25:10-12

10 The Lord will protect Mount Zion, but the people of Moab will be trampled down the way straw is trampled in manure. 1
11 They will reach out their hands as if they were trying to swim, but God will humiliate them, and their hands will sink helplessly.
12 He will destroy the fortresses of Moab with their high walls and bring them tumbling down into the dust.
