[1] The word of the LORD came to me: [2] "Son of man, set your face toward
the Ammonites, and prophesy against them. [3] Say to the Ammonites, Hear
the word of the Lord GOD: Thus says the Lord GOD, Because you said, `Aha!'
over my sanctuary when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel when it
was made desolate, and over the house of Judah when it went into exile; [4]
therefore I am handing you over to the people of the East for a possession,
and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings in
your midst; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. [5]
I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and the cities of the Ammonites a
fold for flocks. Then you will know that I am the LORD. [6] For thus says
the Lord GOD: Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet and
rejoiced with all the malice within you against the land of Israel, [7]
therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand against you, and will hand
you over as spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off from the peoples
and will make you perish out of the countries; I will destroy you. Then you
will know that I am the LORD. [8] "Thus says the Lord GOD: Because Moab
said, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the other nations, [9]
therefore I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities on its
frontier, the glory of the country, Beth-jesh'imoth, Ba'al-me'on, and
Kiriatha'im. [10] I will give it along with the Ammonites to the people of
the East as a possession, that it may be remembered no more among the
nations, [11] and I will execute judgments upon Moab. Then they will know
that I am the LORD. [12] "Thus says the Lord GOD: Because Edom acted
revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended in
taking vengeance upon them, [13] therefore thus says the Lord GOD, I will
stretch out my hand against Edom, and cut off from it man and beast; and I
will make it desolate; from Teman even to Dedan they shall fall by the
sword. [14] And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people
Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my
wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord GOD. [15] "Thus says
the Lord GOD: Because the Philistines acted revengefully and took vengeance
with malice of heart to destroy in never-ending enmity; [16] therefore thus
says the Lord GOD, Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the
Philistines, and I will cut off the Cher'ethites, and destroy the rest of
the seacoast. [17] I will execute great vengeance upon them with wrathful
chastisements. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my
vengeance upon them."
