And the word of the LORD
came
to me saying
,
"Son of man
, set
your face
toward
the asons
of Ammon
and prophesy
against
them,
and say to the sons
of Ammon
, `Hear
the word
of the Lord
1GOD
! Thus
says
the Lord
GOD
, "Because
you said
, ` aAha
!' 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
,
therefore, behold
, I am going to give
you to the asons
of the east
for a possession
, and they will set
their encampments
among you and make
their dwellings
among you; they will beat
your fruit
and drink
your milk
.
"I will make aRabbah
a pasture
for camels
and the sons
of Ammon
a resting
place
for flocks
. Thus you will know
that I am the LORD
."
`For thus says
the Lord
GOD
, "Because
you have aclapped
your hands
and stamped
your feet
and brejoiced
with all
the scorn
of your soul
against
the land
of Israel
,
therefore, behold
, I have astretched
out My hand
against
you and I will give
you for bspoil
to the nations
. And I will ccut
you off
from the peoples
and dmake you perish
from the lands
; I will destroy
you. Thus you will eknow
that I am the LORD
."
`Thus says
the Lord
GOD
, "Because
aMoab
and Seir
say
, `Behold
, the house
of Judah
is like all
the nations
,'
therefore, behold
, I am going to 1deprive
the flank
of Moab
of its cities
, of its cities
which are on its 2frontiers
, the glory
of the land
, aBeth-jeshimoth
, bBaal-meon
and cKiriathaim
,
and I will give it for a possession
along
with the sons
of Ammon
to the asons
of the east
, so
that the sons
of Ammon
will not be remembered
among the nations
.
"Thus I will execute judgments
on Moab
, and they will know
that I am the LORD
."
`Thus says
the Lord
GOD
, "Because
aEdom
has acted
against the house
of Judah
by taking
vengeance
, and has incurred
grievous
guilt
, and avenged
themselves upon them,"
therefore thus
says
the Lord
GOD
, "I will also astretch
out My hand
against
Edom
and bcut
off
man
and beast
from it. And I will lay
it waste
; from cTeman
even to dDedan
they will fall
by the sword
.
" aI will lay My vengeance
on Edom
by the hand
of My people
Israel
. Therefore, they will act
in Edom
baccording to My anger
and according to My wrath
; thus they will know
My vengeance
," declares
the Lord
GOD
.
`Thus says
the Lord
GOD
, "Because
the Philistines
have acted
in arevenge
and have taken
vengeance
with scorn
of soul
to destroy
with everlasting
enmity
,"
therefore thus
says
the Lord
GOD
, "Behold
, I will astretch
out My hand
against
the Philistines
, even cut
off
the bCherethites
and destroy
the remnant
of the seacoast
.
"I will execute great
vengeance
on them with wrathful
rebukes
; and they will aknow
that I am the LORD
when I lay
My vengeance
on them.""'
