1
The word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came again unto me, saying[H559],
2Son[H1121] of man[H120], set[H7760] thy face[H6440] against the Ammonites[H1121], and prophesy[H5012] against them;
3
And say[H559] unto the Ammonites[H1121], Hear[H8085] the word[H1697] of the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Because thou saidst[H559], Aha[H1889], against my sanctuary[H4720], when it was profaned[H2490]; and against the land[H127] of Israel[H3478], when it was desolate[H8074]; and against the house[H1004] of Judah[H3063], when they went[H1980] into captivity[H1473];
4
Behold, therefore I will deliver[H5414] thee to the men[H1121] of the east[H6924] for a possession[H4181], and they shall set[H3427] their palaces[H2918] in thee, and make[H5414] their dwellings[H4908] in thee: they shall eat[H398] thy fruit[H6529], and they shall drink[H8354] thy milk[H2461].
5
And I will make[H5414]Rabbah[H7237] a stable[H5116] for camels[H1581], and the Ammonites[H1121] a couchingplace[H4769] for flocks[H6629]: and ye shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
6
For thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Because thou hast clapped[H4222] thine hands[H3027], and stamped[H7554] with the feet[H7272], and rejoiced[H8055] in heart[H5315] with all thy despite[H7589] against the land[H127] of Israel[H3478];
7
Behold, therefore I will stretch out[H5186] mine hand[H3027] upon thee, and will deliver[H5414] thee for a spoil[H957] to the heathen[H1471]; and I will cut thee off[H3772] from the people[H5971], and I will cause thee to perish[H6]out[H5186] of the countries[H776]: I will destroy[H8045] thee; and thou shalt know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
8
Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Because[H3282] that Moab[H4124] and Seir[H8165] do say[H559], Behold, the house[H1004] of Judah[H3063] is like unto all the heathen[H1471];
9
Therefore, behold, I will open[H6605] the side[H3802] of Moab[H4124] from the cities[H5892], from his cities[H5892] which are on his frontiers[H7097], the glory[H6643] of the country[H776], Bethjeshimoth[H1020], Baalmeon[H1186], and Kiriathaim[H7156],
10
Unto the men[H1121] of the east[H6924] with the Ammonites[H1121], and will give[H5414] them in possession[H4181], that the Ammonites[H5983] may not be remembered[H2142] among the nations[H1471].
11
And I will execute[H6213]judgments[H8201] upon Moab[H4124]; and they shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
12
Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Because that Edom[H123] hath dealt[H6213] against the house[H1004] of Judah[H3063] by taking[H5358]vengeance[H5359], and hath greatly[H816]offended[H816], and revenged[H5358] himself upon them;
13
Therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; I will also stretch out[H5186] mine hand[H3027] upon Edom[H123], and will cut off[H3772]man[H120] and beast[H929] from it; and I will make[H5414] it desolate[H2723] from Teman[H8487]; and they of Dedan[H1719] shall fall[H5307] by the sword[H2719].
14
And I will lay[H5414] my vengeance[H5360] upon Edom[H123] by the hand[H3027] of my people[H5971]Israel[H3478]: and they shall do[H6213] in Edom[H123] according to mine anger[H639] and according to my fury[H2534]; and they shall know[H3045] my vengeance[H5360], saith[H5002] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069].
15
Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Because the Philistines[H6430] have dealt[H6213] by revenge[H5360], and have taken[H5358]vengeance[H5359] with a despiteful[H7589]heart[H5315], to destroy[H4889] it for the old[H5769]hatred[H342];
16
Therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Behold, I will stretch out[H5186] mine hand[H3027] upon the Philistines[H6430], and I will cut off[H3772] the Cherethims[H3774], and destroy[H6] the remnant[H7611] of the sea[H3220]coast[H2348].
17
And I will execute[H6213]great[H1419]vengeance[H5360] upon them with furious[H2534]rebukes[H8433]; and they shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068], when I shall lay[H5414] my vengeance[H5360] upon them.
