[1] The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, [2] Son of man, set your face
toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them: [3] and tell the
children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord
Yahweh, Because you said, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned;
and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and against the
house of Judah, when they went into captivity: [4] therefore, behold, I
will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession, and they
shall set their encampments in you, and make their dwellings in you; they
shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. [5] I will make
Rabbah a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching-place for
flocks: and you shall know that I am Yahweh. [6] For thus says the Lord
Yahweh: Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and
rejoiced with all the despite of your soul against the land of Israel; [7]
therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver
you for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off from the peoples,
and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you;
and you shall know that I am Yahweh. [8] Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because
Moab and Seir say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations; [9]
therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his
cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country,
Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, [10] to the children of the
east, [to go] against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a
possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the
nations. [11] and I will execute judgments on Moab; and they shall know
that I am Yahweh. [12] Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because Edom has dealt
against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended,
and revenged himself on them; [13] therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, I
will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it;
and I will make it desolate from Teman; even to Dedan shall they fall by
the sword. [14] I will lay my vengeance on 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 Yahweh. [15] Thus
says the Lord Yahweh: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and
have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;
[16] therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will stretch out my
hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy
the remnant of the sea coast. [17] I will execute great vengeance on them
with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall
lay my vengeance on them.
