2 The Lord says, ‘The people in Moab have done more and more wrong things. So I will certainly punish them.

They dug up the bones of Edom's king. They burned his bones until they became ashes. ² So I will send fire to the country called Moab. The fire will destroy the strong buildings in Kerioth town. The people will hear their enemies shout. And they will hear the sounds that their enemies' trumpets make. And the people will die. ³ I will let the enemies kill the ruler of Moab. And I will let them kill all its leaders too.’ That is what the Lord says.
