Prophecy Against Ammon

¹ The word of the Lord came to me: ^2 (a)"Son of man, ^(b)set your face toward ^(c)the Ammonites and prophesy against them. ³ Say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God: ^(d)Thus says the Lord God, Because you said, ^(e)‘Aha!' over my ^(f)sanctuary when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and over the house of Judah when they went into exile, ⁴ therefore behold, I am handing you over to ^(g)the people of the East for a possession, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings in your midst. They shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. ⁵ I will make ^(h)Rabbah a ⁽ⁱ⁾pasture for camels and Ammon^{[a] (j)}a fold for flocks. ^(k)Then you will know that I am the Lord. ⁶ For thus says the Lord God: Because ^(l)you have clapped your hands ^(m)and stamped your feet and ⁽ⁿ⁾rejoiced with all the ^(o)malice within your soul against the land of Israel, ⁷ therefore, behold, ^(p)I have stretched out my hand against you, and ^(q)will hand you over as plunder to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples and will make you perish out of the countries; I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Prophecy Against Moab and Seir

⁸ "Thus says the Lord God: Because ^(r)Moab and ^(s)Seir^[b] said, ‘Behold, the ^(t)house of Judah is like all the other nations,' ⁹ therefore ^(u)I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities, from its cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, ^(v)Beth-jeshimoth, ^(w)Baal-meon, and ^(x)Kiriathaim. ¹⁰ I will give it ^(y)along with the Ammonites ^(z)to the people of the East as a possession, ^(aa)that the Ammonites may be remembered no more among the nations, ^11 (ab)and I will execute judgments upon Moab. ^(ac)Then they will know that I am the Lord.

Prophecy Against Edom

¹² "Thus says the Lord God: Because ^(ad)Edom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended ^(ae)in taking vengeance on them, ¹³ therefore thus says the Lord God, ^(af)I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast. And I will make it desolate; from ^(ag)Teman even to ^(ah)Dedan they shall fall by the sword. ¹⁴ And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom ^(ai)by the hand of my people Israel, and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath, and ^(aj)they shall know my vengeance, declares the Lord God.
