⁶For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of clapping your hand and stamping with your foot, and because you rejoiced in^j yourself with all of your malice over the land of Israel, ⁷therefore look! I stretched out my hand against you, and I will give you as plunder^k to the nations, and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will destroy you from the countries, and I will wipe you out, and you will know that I am Yahweh.”

⁸Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of Moab and Seir saying, ‘The house of Judah is like all of the nations,’ ⁹therefore, look! I am opening the side of^l Moab from the cities on its frontier, the glory of the land: Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim. ¹⁰I will give it to the people^m of the East in addition to the Ammonitesⁿ as a possession, so that the Ammonites^o will not be remembered among the nations. ¹¹And on Moab I will execute punishments, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”

¹²Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of the doings of Edom in avenging himself with vengeance for^p the house of Judah, and so they became very guilty and^q they avenged themselves on them,”
