8
Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Because Moab and Seir said, Behold, the house of the LORD
is like unto all the Gentiles
submitted to Babylon,
9
therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities
which are on his frontiers, the desirable lands of Bethjeshimoth and Baalmeon and Kiriathaim,
10
unto the sons of the east against the sons of Ammon and will give them in possession that the sons of Ammon may not be remembered any more among the Gentiles.
11
I will also execute judgments in Moab; and they shall know that I
am the LORD.
12
Thus hath the Lord GOD spoken; Because of what Edom did when he took vengeance against the house of Judah, (for they are condemned as guilty) and revenged themselves upon them;
13
therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: I will also stretch out my hand upon Edom and will cut off man and beast from her; and I will make her desolate from Teman; and
those of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
14
And I will place my vengeance in Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, said the Lord GOD.
15
Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Because the Palestinians have dealt by revenge and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart to destroying because of perpetual enmity,
16
therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said; Behold, I stretch out my hand upon the Palestinians, and I will cut off the Cherethims and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
17
And I will execute great vengeance in them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I
am the LORD when I shall give my vengeance in them.
