Judgment on Gentile Nations—Ammon

¹ And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,² "Son of man, set your face against 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! This is what the Lord GOD says: "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 ^(F1)(C1)people of the east as a possession, and they will set up 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. Then you will know that I am the LORD."⁶ 'For this is what the Lord GOD says: "Because you have ^(C1)clapped your hands and stamped your feet, and have ^(C2)rejoiced with all the malice in your soul against the land of Israel,⁷ therefore, behold, I have ^(C1)reached out with My hand against you and I will give you as ^(C2)plunder to the nations. And I will ^(C3)cut you off from the peoples and ^(C4)eliminate you from the lands. I will exterminate you. So you will ^(C5)know that I am the LORD."

Moab

⁸ 'The Lord GOD says this: "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 ^(F2)which are on its frontiers, the glory of the land, ^(C1)Beth-jeshimoth, ^(C2)Baal-meon, and ^(C3)Kiriathaim;¹⁰ and I will give it as a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the ^(F1)(C1)people of the east, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.¹¹ "So I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD."

Edom

¹² 'The Lord GOD says this: "Because ^(C1)Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred great guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,"¹³ therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: "I will also ^(C1)reach out with My hand against Edom and ^(C2)eliminate human and animal life from it. And I will turn it into ruins; from ^(C3)Teman even to ^(C4)Dedan they will fall by the sword.¹⁴ "And ^(C1)I will inflict My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom ^(C2)in accordance with My anger and My wrath; so they will know My vengeance," declares the Lord GOD.

Philistia

¹⁵ 'This is what the Lord GOD says: "Because the Philistines have acted in ^(C1)revenge, and have taken vengeance with malice in their souls to destroy with everlasting hostility,"¹⁶ therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: "Behold, I am going to ^(C1)reach out with My hand against the Philistines and eliminate the ^(C2)Cherethites; and I will 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 inflict My vengeance on them."'"
