1 The
word of the
LORD came again unto me,
saying,
2 Son of
man,
set thy
face against the
Ammonites ben#
, and
prophesy against them;
3 And
say unto the
Ammonites ben#
,
Hear the
word of the
Lord GOD; Thus
saith the
Lord GOD; Because thou
saidst,
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;
4 Behold, therefore I will
deliver thee to the
men of the
east for a
possession, and they shall
set their
palaces in thee, and
make their
dwellings in thee: they shall
eat thy
fruit, and they shall
drink thy
milk.
5 And I will
make Rabbah a
stable for
camels, and the
Ammonites ben#
a
couchingplace for
flocks: and ye shall
know that I am the
LORD.
6 For thus
saith the
Lord GOD; Because thou hast
clapped thine
hands, and
stamped with the
feet, and
rejoiced in
heart with all thy
despite against the
land of
Israel;
7 Behold, therefore I will stretch
out mine
hand upon thee, and will
deliver thee for a
spoil 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.
8 Thus
saith the
Lord GOD;
Because that
Moab and
Seir do
say, Behold, the
house of
Judah is like unto all the
heathen;
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,
Bethjeshimoth Beyth ha-Y@shiy-mowth#,
Baalmeon Ba#al, and
Kiriathaim,
10 Unto the
men of the
east with the
Ammonites ben#
, and will
give them in
possession, that the
Ammonites ben#
may not be
remembered among the
nations.
11 And I will
execute judgments upon
Moab; and they shall
know that I am the
LORD.
12 Thus
saith the
Lord GOD; Because that
Edom hath
dealt against the
house of
Judah by
taking vengeance, and hath
greatly offended, and
revenged himself upon them;
13 Therefore thus
saith the
Lord GOD; I will also stretch
out mine
hand upon
Edom, and will cut
off man and
beast from it; and I will
make it
desolate from
Teman; and they of
Dedan 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 mine
anger and according to my
fury; and they shall
know my
vengeance,
saith the
Lord GOD.
15 Thus
saith the
Lord GOD; Because the
Philistines have
dealt by
revenge, and have
taken vengeance with a
despiteful heart, to
destroy it for the
old hatred;
16 Therefore thus
saith the
Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch
out mine
hand upon the
Philistines, and I will cut
off the
Cherethims, and
destroy the
remnant of the
sea coast.
17 And I will
execute great vengeance upon them with
furious rebukes; and they shall
know that I am the
LORD, when I shall
lay my
vengeance upon them.
