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.
