A prophecy about the people of Moab

8 This is also what Yahweh the Lord says: “The people of Moabsouth of Ammon and the people of Seirsouth of Moab despised Israel and said, ‘The people [MTY] of Israel have becomeas unimportant as all the other nations!’ 9 Therefore, I will destroy the cities that protect the borders of Moab, starting at Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim, the finest cities in Moab. 10 I will enable people from the east to conquer Moab and also to conquer Ammon. As a result, I will cause that Ammon will no longer be remembered by other nations. 11 I will also punish the people of Moab. When that happens, they will know that I, Yahweh, have the power to do what I say that I will do.”
