8. This is what the Lord GOD says: “Moab and Seir say, ‘The family of Judah is just like any other nation.’
9. I will cut into Moab’s shoulder—I will take away the cities that are on its borders—the glory of the land, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.
10. Then I will give these cities to the people of the east. They will get your land. I will also let those people from the east destroy the Ammonites, and people will forget they were ever a nation.
11. So I will punish Moab, and then they will know that I am the Lord.”
12. This is what the Lord GOD says: “The people of Edom turned against the family of Judah and tried to get even. The people of Edom are guilty.”
13. So the Lord GOD says: “I will punish Edom. I will destroy the people and the animals in Edom. I will destroy the whole country of Edom, all the way from Teman to Dedan. The Edomites will be killed in battle.
14. I will use my people Israel and get even against Edom. In this way the people of Israel will show my anger against Edom. Then the people of Edom will know that I punished them.” This is what the Lord GOD said.
15. This is what the Lord GOD says: “The Philistines tried to get even. They were very cruel. They let their anger burn inside them too long.”
16. So the Lord GOD said, “I will punish the Philistines. Yes, I will destroy those people from Crete. I will completely destroy those people who live on the seacoast.
17. I will punish them—I will get even. I will let my anger teach them a lesson. Then they will know that I am the Lord!”
