Judgment on Gentile Nations—Ammon

¹ And the word of the LORD came to me saying,² "Son of man, set your face toward the ^(C1)sons of Ammon and prophesy against them,³ and say to the sons of Ammon, 'Hear the word of the Lord ^(F1)GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you said, '^(C1)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 exile,⁴ therefore, behold, I am going to give you to the ^(C1)sons of the east for a possession, and they will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will ^(C2)eat your fruit and drink your milk.⁵ "I will make ^(C1)Rabbah a pasture for camels and the sons of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Thus you will know that I am the LORD."⁶ 'For thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you have ^(C1)clapped your hands and stamped your feet and ^(C2)rejoiced with all the scorn of your soul against the land of Israel,⁷ therefore, behold, I have ^(C1)stretched out My hand against you and I will give you for ^(C2)spoil to the nations. And I will ^(C3)cut you off from the peoples and ^(C4)make you perish from the lands; I will destroy you. Thus you will ^(C5)know that I am the LORD."

Moab

⁸ 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because ^(C1)Moab and Seir say, 'Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,'⁹ therefore, behold, I am going to ^(F1)deprive the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities which are on its ^(F2)frontiers, the glory of the land, ^(C1)Beth-jeshimoth, ^(C2)Baal-meon and ^(C3)Kiriathaim,¹⁰ and I will give it for a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the ^(C1)sons of the east, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.¹¹ "Thus I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD."

Edom

¹² 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because ^(C1)Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred grievous guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,"¹³ therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "I will also ^(C1)stretch out My hand against Edom and ^(C2)cut off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste; from ^(C3)Teman even to ^(C4)Dedan they will fall by the sword.¹⁴ "^(C1)I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom ^(C2)according to My anger and according to My wrath; thus they will know My vengeance," declares the Lord GOD.

Philistia

¹⁵ 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because the Philistines have acted in ^(C1)revenge and have taken vengeance with scorn of soul to destroy with everlasting enmity,"¹⁶ therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will ^(C1)stretch out My hand against the Philistines, even cut off the ^(C2)Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast.¹⁷ "I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will ^(C1)know that I am the LORD when I lay My vengeance on them."'"
