The word
of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
02 Son of man, set thy face against the
Ammonites, and prophesy against them;
03 And say unto the Ammonites, 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;
04 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.
05 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels,
and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks:
and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
06 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;
07 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.
08 Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Moab and
Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like
unto all the heathen;
09 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, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,

10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites,
and will give them in possession, that the
Ammonites 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.
