Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, “This is what your brother Israel says, ‘You know all the hardships that have overtaken us.

You will be covered with shame
and destroyed forever
because of violence done to your brother Jacob.

They shall

Then the chiefs of Edom will be terrified;
trembling will seize the leaders of Moab;
the inhabitants of Canaan will panic;

Moab was terrified of the people because they were numerous, and Moab dreaded the Israelites.

Now I am going back to my people, but first, let me warn you what these people will do to your people in the future.”

Take ye
