and all its fortresses will be destroyed.

and all its fortresses will be destroyed.”
This is what the Lord says:
“The people of Edom have sinned again and again,
and I will not let them go unpunished!
They chased down their relatives, the Israelites, with swords,
showing them no mercy.
In their rage, they slashed them continually
and were unrelenting in their anger.

So I will send down fire on the walls of Rabbah,
and all its fortresses will be destroyed.

This is what the Lord says:
“The people of Moab have sinned again and again,
