Yahweh will punish Moab

2 Yahweh also said this:

“I will punish the people of Moab because of the many sins that they have committed;

I will not change my mind about punishing them,

because they dug up the bones of the king of Edom and burned them completely,

with the result that the ashes became as white as lime.

2 So I will cause a fire to completely burn the fortresses of Kerioth city in Moab.

People will hear soldiers shouting and blowing trumpets loudly

while I am causing Moab to be destroyed

3 and while I am getting rid of its king and all its leaders.

That will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it!”
