¶ The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

Son of man, set thy face¹ against the Ammonites², and prophesy against them;

And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst³, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;

Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men⁴ of the east⁵ for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat⁶ thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.

And I will make Rabbah⁷ a stable⁹ for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye¹⁰ shall know that I am the LORD.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast¹¹ clapped thine hands¹², and stamped with the feet¹³, and rejoiced in heart¹⁴ with all thy despite against the land of Israel;

Behold, therefore I will stretch¹⁵ out mine hand upon thee, and will¹⁶ deliver thee for a spoil¹⁷ to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab¹⁸ and Seir¹⁹ do say, Behold, the house²⁰ of Judah is like unto all the heathen;

Therefore, behold, I will open the side²¹ of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon²², and Kiriathaim,

¶ Unto the men²³ of the east with the Ammonites²⁴, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may²⁵ not be remembered among the nations.

And I will²⁶ execute judgments upon²⁷ Moab; and they²⁸ shall know that I am the LORD.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because²⁹ that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance³⁰, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also³¹ stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will³² cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman³³; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword³⁴.

And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand³⁵ of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know³⁶ my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because³⁷ the Philistines have dealt³⁸ by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy³⁹ it for the old hatred⁴⁰;

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch⁴¹ out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims⁴², and destroy⁴⁴ the remnant of the sea coast.

And I will⁴⁶ execute great vengeance⁴⁷ upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
