This represents the Moabite people. AT: "the people of Moab" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# I will not turn away punishment
|
|

Yahweh uses two negatives here to emphasize that he would punish them. See how you translated these words in [Amos 1:3](../01/03.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes]])
