1 The word of the LORD came to me:
2 "Son of man, turn your face toward the children of Ammon and prophesy against them.
3 Tell the children of Ammon, 'Hear the word of the Lord GOD. Thus says the Lord GOD: Because you said "Aha!" over my sanctuary when it was profaned, over the soil of Israel when it was laid waste, and over the house of Judah when they went into exile,
4 I am going to hand you over to the people of the East as their possession. They will pitch their camps among you and set up their dwellings in you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.
5 I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and the land of the children of Ammon a fold for flocks. Then you shall know that I am the LORD.
6 For thus says the Lord GOD: Because you clapped your hands and stamped your feet and gloated with all the scorn of your soul over the soil of Israel,
7 I have stretched out my hand against you and will hand you over as spoil to the nations; I will cut you off from the peoples and wipe you out of the lands. I will destroy you, and you shall know that I am the LORD.'
8 "Thus says the Lord GOD: 'Because Moab and Seir say, "Look, the house of Judah is just like all the nations,"
9 I am going to open up the flank of Moab, stripping it of its cities, its cities from end to end, the jewel of the land: Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and Kiriathaim.
10 Along with the children of Ammon I will hand it over to the people of the East as their possession, so that the children of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.
11 I will carry out judgments on Moab, and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
12 "Thus says the Lord GOD: 'Because Edom took revenge on the house of Judah and incurred great guilt by avenging itself on them,
13 thus says the Lord GOD: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off man and beast from it; I will make it a ruin from Teman, and as far as Dedan they will fall by the sword.
14 I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in keeping with my anger and my wrath; and they will know my vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.'
15 "Thus says the Lord GOD: 'Because the Philistines acted in revenge and took vengeance with scorn of soul, to destroy out of age-old hostility,
16 thus says the Lord GOD: I am going to stretch out my hand against the Philistines; I will cut off the Cherethites and wipe out what is left of the seacoast.
17 I will carry out great vengeance on them with raging punishments, and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance on them.'"
