Then the word of the LORD came to me , saying ,
“ Son of man , set your face against the Ammonites ... and prophesy against them.
Tell the Ammonites ... to hear the word of the Lord GOD , for this is what the Lord GOD says : ‘ Because you exclaimed , “ Aha ! ” when My sanctuary - was profaned , - when the land of Israel - was laid waste , and when the house of Judah - went into exile ,
therefore I will indeed give you as a possession to the people of the East. They will set up their camps and pitch their tents They will eat your fruit ... and drink your milk.
I will make - Rabbah a pasture for camels , and - Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD. ’
For this is what the Lord GOD says : ‘ Because you clapped your hands and stomped your feet and rejoiced over the land of Israel with a heart full of contempt ,
therefore I will indeed stretch out - My hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy you , and you will know that I am the LORD. ’
This is what the Lord GOD says : ‘ Because Moab and Seir said , “ Look , the house of Judah is like all the other nations , ”
therefore I will indeed expose - the flank of Moab beginning with its frontier cities — ... vvv Beth-jeshimoth , vvv Baal-meon , and Kiriathaim — the glory of the land.
I will give it along with vvv the Ammonites as a possession to the people of the East , so that vvv the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations.
So I will execute judgments on Moab , and they will know that I am the LORD. ’
This is what the Lord GOD says : ‘ Because Edom acted vengefully ... against the house of Judah , and in (so doing) incurred grievous guilt ... ,
therefore this is what the Lord GOD says : I will stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off from it both man and beast. I will make it a wasteland , and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword.
I will take - My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel , and they will deal with Edom according to My anger and wrath. Then they will know - My vengeance , declares the Lord GOD. ’
This is what the Lord GOD says : ‘ Because the Philistines acted in vengeance , taking vengeance with malice of soul to destroy (Judah) with ancient hostility ,
therefore this is what the Lord GOD says : Behold , I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines , and I will cut off - the Cherethites and destroy - the remnant along the coast.
I will execute great vengeance with furious reproof. Then they will know that I am the LORD , when I lay - My vengeance
