1The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came again unto me, saying <0559> (8800)_,
2Son <01121> of man <0120>_, set <07760> (8798) thy face <06440> against the Ammonites <01121> <05983>_, and prophesy <05012> (8734) against them;
3And say <0559> (8804) unto the Ammonites <01121> <05983>_, Hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Because thou saidst <0559> (8800)_, Aha <01889>_, against my sanctuary <04720>_, when it was profaned <02490> (8738)_; and against the land <0127> of Israel <03478>_, when it was desolate <08074> (8738)_; and against the house <01004> of Judah <03063>_, when they went <01980> (8804) into captivity <01473>_;
4Behold, therefore I will deliver <05414> (8802) thee to the men <01121> of the east <06924> for a possession <04181>_, and they shall set <03427> (8765) their palaces <02918> in thee, and make <05414> (8804) their dwellings <04908> in thee: they shall eat <0398> (8799) thy fruit <06529>_, and they shall drink <08354> (8799) thy milk <02461>_. {men: Heb. children}
5And I will make <05414> (8804) Rabbah <07237> a stable <05116> for camels <01581>_, and the Ammonites <01121> <05983> a couchingplace <04769> for flocks <06629>_: and ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I [am] the LORD <03068>_.
6For thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Because thou hast clapped <04222> (8763) [thine] hands <03027>_, and stamped <07554> (8800) with the feet <07272>_, and rejoiced <08055> (8799) in heart <05315> with all thy despite <07589> against the land <0127> of Israel <03478>_; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
7Behold, therefore I will stretch out <05186> (8804) mine hand <03027> upon thee, and will deliver <05414> (8804) thee for a spoil <0957> (8675) <0897> to the heathen <01471>_; and I will cut thee off <03772> (8689) from the people <05971>_, and I will cause thee to perish <06> (8689) out of the countries <0776>_: I will destroy <08045> (8686) thee; and thou shalt know <03045> (8804) that I [am] the LORD <03068>_. {a spoil: or, meat}
8Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Because <03282> that Moab <04124> and Seir <08165> do say <0559> (8800)_, Behold, the house <01004> of Judah <03063> [is] like unto all the heathen <01471>_;
9Therefore, behold, I will open <06605> (8802) the side <03802> of Moab <04124> from the cities <05892>_, from his cities <05892> [which are] on his frontiers <07097>_, the glory <06643> of the country <0776>_, Bethjeshimoth <01020>_, Baalmeon <01186>_, and Kiriathaim <07156>_, {side...: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
10Unto the men <01121> of the east <06924> with the Ammonites <01121> <05983>_, and will give <05414> (8804) them in possession <04181>_, that the Ammonites <01121> <05983> may not be remembered <02142> (8735) among the nations <01471>_. {with...: or, against the children of Ammon}
11And I will execute <06213> (8799) judgments <08201> upon Moab <04124>_; and they shall know <03045> (8804) that I [am] the LORD <03068>_.
12Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Because that Edom <0123> hath dealt <06213> (8800) against the house <01004> of Judah <03063> by taking <05358> (8800) vengeance <05359>_, and hath greatly <0816> (8800) offended <0816> (8799)_, and revenged <05358> (8738) himself upon them; {by...: Heb. by revenging revengement}
13Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; I will also stretch out <05186> (8804) mine hand <03027> upon Edom <0123>_, and will cut off <03772> (8689) man <0120> and beast <0929> from it; and I will make <05414> (8804) it desolate <02723> from Teman <08487>_; and they of Dedan <01719> shall fall <05307> (8799) by the sword <02719>_. {they...: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
14And I will lay <05414> (8804) my vengeance <05360> upon Edom <0123> by the hand <03027> of my people <05971> Israel <03478>_: and they shall do <06213> (8804) in Edom <0123> according to mine anger <0639> and according to my fury <02534>_; and they shall know <03045> (8804) my vengeance <05360>_, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_.
15Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Because the Philistines <06430> have dealt <06213> (8800) by revenge <05360>_, and have taken <05358> (8735) vengeance <05359> with a despiteful <07589> heart <05315>_, to destroy <04889> [it] for the old <05769> hatred <0342>_; {for the...: or, with perpetual hatred}
16Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Behold, I will stretch out <05186> (8802) mine hand <03027> upon the Philistines <06430>_, and I will cut off <03772> (8689) the Cherethims <03774>_, and destroy <06> (8689) the remnant <07611> of the sea <03220> coast <02348>_. {sea coast: or, haven of the sea}
17And I will execute <06213> (8804) great <01419> vengeance <05360> upon them with furious <02534> rebukes <08433>_; and they shall know <03045> (8804) that I [am] the LORD <03068>_, when I shall lay <05414> (8800) my vengeance <05360> upon them. {great vengeance: Heb. great vengeances}
