GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New International Version NIV
8 "'This is what the Almighty LORD says: Moab and Seir said, "The nation of Judah is like all the other nations."
8
“This is what the Sovereign LORD says: ‘Because Moab and Seir said, “Look, Judah has become like all the other nations,”
9 That is why I'm going to open up the cities that protect Moab's borders. They are the beautiful cities of Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.
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 hand the Moabites and the Ammonites over to the people in the east. So the Ammonites will no longer be remembered 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 I will punish 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.’ ”
