1The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2“Son of man, set your face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them,
3and tell the children of Ammon: Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh. This is what the Lord Yahweh says: 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,
4therefore behold, I will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession, and they will set their encampments in you and make their dwellings in you; they will eat your fruit and they will drink your milk.
5I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
6For this is what the Lord Yahweh says: Because you have clapped your hands and stamped with the feet and rejoiced with all the contempt in your soul against the land of Israel,
7therefore 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 will know that I am Yahweh.
8This is what the Lord Yahweh says: Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’
9therefore behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities that are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,
10to 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,
11and I will execute judgments on Moab; and they will know that I am Yahweh.
12This is what the Lord Yahweh says: Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred grievous guilt, and avenged himself on them,
13therefore this is what the Lord Yahweh says: 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 they will fall by the sword.
14I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath, and they will know my vengeance, says the Lord Yahweh.
15This is what the Lord Yahweh says: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity,
16therefore this is what the Lord Yahweh says: 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.
17I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I will lay my vengeance on them.”
