And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the Lord, concluding the oracle with the recognition formula that frames all these prophecies. The repetition of this phrase across multiple nations emphasizes that judgment is not arbitrary punishment but a pedagogical tool through which nations encounter God's reality and power. Through suffering and loss, even enemy nations gain knowledge of the God who rules history.
