They desecrated the bones of Edom’s king,
burning them to ashes.
So I will send down fire on the land of Moab,
and all the fortresses in Kerioth will be destroyed.
The people will fall in the noise of battle,

So I will send down fire on Judah,
and all the fortresses of Jerusalem will be destroyed.”

and as strong as oaks.
I destroyed the fruit on their branches
and dug out their roots.
It was I who rescued you from Egypt
and led you through the desert for forty years,
