⁹ ‘If evil comes upon us, such as war^[a] as punishment, disease, or famine and we stand in your presence in this Temple (because your Name is in this Temple) and cry out to you in our distress, then you will hear and deliver.’ ¹⁰ Now therefore look! The Ammonites, the Moabites, and the inhabitants of^[b] Mount Seir,^[c] whom you would not permit Israel to attack when they arrived from the land of Egypt—since they turned away from them and did not eliminate them— ¹¹ Look how they’re rewarding us! They’re coming to drive us from your property that you gave us to be our inheritance.
