⁸ The Lord and King says, "Moab and Edom said, 'Look! The people of Judah have become like all of the other nations.' ⁹ So I will let Moab's enemies attack its lower hills. They will begin at the border towns. Those towns include Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon and Kiriathaim. They are the glory of that land. ¹⁰ I will hand Moab over to the people of the east. I will also give the Ammonites to them. And the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations. ¹¹ I will punish Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord." ¹² The Lord and King says, "Edom got even with the people of Judah. That made them very guilty." ¹³ He continues, "I will reach out my hand against Edom. I will kill its people and their animals. I will completely destroy it. They will be killed with swords from Teman all the way to Dedan. ¹⁴ I will use my people Israel to pay Edom back. They will punish Edom because my anger burns against it. They will know how I pay my enemies back," announces the Lord and King. ¹⁵ The Lord and King says, "The Philistines hated Judah deep down inside them. So they tried to get even with them. They had been Judah's enemies for many years. So they tried to destroy them." ¹⁶ He continues, "I am about to reach out my hand against the Philistines. I will cut off the Kerethites. I will destroy those who remain along the coast. ¹⁷ You can be sure that I will pay them back. I will punish them because my anger burns against them. When I pay them back, they will know that I am the Lord."
