1The word <01697> of the Lord <03068> came <01961> to <0413> me:
2“Son <01121> of man <0120>, turn <07760> toward <0413> <06440> the Ammonites <05983> <01121> and prophesy <05012> against <05921> them.
3Say <0559> to the Ammonites <05983> <01121>, ‘Hear <08085> the word <01697> of the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069>: This is what <03541> the sovereign <03069> Lord <0136> says <0559>: You said <0559> “Aha <01889>!” about <0413> my sanctuary <04720> when <03588> it was desecrated <02490>, about <0413> the land <0127> of Israel <03478> when <03588> it was made desolate <08074>, and about <0413> the house <01004> of Judah <03063> when <03588> they went <01980> into exile <01473>.
4So <03651> take note <02005>, I am about to make <05414> you slaves of <04181> the tribes <01121> of the east <06924>. They <01992> will make camps <02918> <03427> among you and pitch <05414> their tents <04908> among you. They <01992> will eat <0398> your fruit <06529> and drink <08354> your milk <02461>.
5I will make <05414> Rabbah <07237> a pasture <05116> for camels <01581> and Ammon <05983> a resting place <04769> for sheep <06629>. Then you will know <03045> that <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.
6For <03588> this is what <03541> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069> says <0559>: Because <03282> you clapped <04222> your hands <03027>, stamped <07554> your feet <07272>, and rejoiced <08055> with intense scorn <07589> over the land <0127> of Israel <03478>,
7take note, I have stretched <05186> out my hand <03027> against <05921> you, and I will hand <05414> you over as plunder <0897> to the nations <01471>. I will cut <03772> you off <03772> from <04480> the peoples <05971> and make you perish <06> from <04480> the lands <0776>. I will destroy <08045> you; then you will know <03045> that <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.’”
8“This is what <03541> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069> says <0559>: ‘Moab <04124> and Seir <08165> say <0559>, “Look <02009>, the house <01004> of Judah <03063> is like all <03605> the other nations <01471>.”
9So <03651> look <02005>, I am about to open up <06605> Moab’s <04124> flank <03802>, eliminating the cities <05892>, including its frontier <07097> cities <05892>, the beauty <06643> of the land <0776>– Beth Jeshimoth <01020>, Baal Meon <01186>, and Kiriathaim <07156>.
10I will hand <05414> it over <05414>, along <05921> with the Ammonites <05983> <01121>, to the tribes <01121> of the east <06924>, so that <04616> the Ammonites <05983> <01121> will no longer <03808> be remembered among <02142> the nations <01471>.
11I will execute <06213> judgments <08201> against Moab <04124>. Then they will know <03045> that <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03068>.’”
12“This is what <03541> the sovereign <03069> Lord <0136> says <0559>: ‘Edom <0123> has taken vengeance <05359> <05358> against the house <01004> of Judah <03063>; they have made <06213> themselves fully culpable <0816> <0816> by taking vengeance <05358> on them.
13So <03651> this is what <03541> the sovereign <03069> Lord <0136> says <0559>: I will stretch out <05186> my hand <03027> against <05921> Edom <0123>, and I will kill <03772> the people <0120> and animals <0929> within <04480> her, and I will make <05414> her desolate <02723>; from Teman <08487> to Dedan <01719> they will die <05307> by the sword <02719>.
14I will exact <05414> my vengeance <05360> upon Edom <0123> by the hand <03027> of my people <05971> Israel <03478>. They will carry out <06213> in Edom <0123> my anger <0639> and rage <02534>; they will experience <03045> my vengeance <05360>, declares <05002> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03068>.’”
15“This is what <03541> the sovereign <03069> Lord <0136> says <0559>: ‘The Philistines <06430> have exacted <06213> merciless revenge <05359> <05358> <05360>, showing intense scorn <05315> <07589> in their effort to destroy <04889> Judah with unrelenting <05769> hostility <0342>.
16So <03651> this <03541> is what <03541> the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069> says <0559>: Take note, I am about to stretch <05186> out my hand <03027> against <05921> the Philistines <06430>. I will kill <03772> the Cherethites <03774> and destroy <06> those who remain <07611> on the seacoast <03220> <02348>.
17I will exact <06213> great <01419> vengeance <05360> upon them with angry <02534> rebukes <08433>. Then they will know <03045> that <03588> I <0589> am the Lord <03068>, when I exact <05414> my vengeance <05360> upon them.’”
