1The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2“Son of Man, face the Ammonites and prophesy against them.”
3and tell the people of Ammon: Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh. This is what the Lord Yahweh says: Because you celebrated when my sanctuary was defiled, and when the land of Israel was made desolate, and when the people of Judah went into captivity,
4therefore, I will hand you over to the people of the east to take as their own. They will set up their camps among you and live in your land. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.
5I will turn Rabbah into a stable for camels and the Ammonites’ land into a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
6For this is what the Lord Yahweh says: Because you clapped your hands, stomped your feet, and rejoiced with all your soul’s hatred against the land of Israel,
7therefore, I have extended my hand over you and will hand you over to the nations as plunder. I will cut you off from the peoples and make you disappear from all countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
8The Lord Yahweh says: Because Moab and Seir said, 'Look, the people of Judah are just like all the other nations.'
9Therefore, I will expose the cities of Moab, opening them up from their frontier towns, the glory of the country: Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.
10I will give these to the people of the east as a possession, to attack the Ammonites, so that the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations.
11I will punish Moab, and they will know that I am Yahweh.
12The Lord Yahweh says: Because Edom acted against the people of Judah by taking revenge, and greatly and maliciously retaliated against them,
13therefore the Lord Yahweh says: I will move against Edom and remove every person and animal from it. I will make it a wasteland from Teman all the way to Dedan; its people will die by the sword.
14I will take revenge on Edom through my people Israel. They will do to Edom what my anger and wrath demand, and they will experience my revenge, says the Lord Yahweh.
15The Lord Yahweh says: Because the Philistines took revenge with hateful hearts, determined to destroy with unending hostility,
16therefore the Lord Yahweh says: Look, I will move against the Philistines. I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remaining people along the seacoast.
17I will carry out great acts of revenge against them with furious rebukes, and they will know that I am Yahweh when I take my revenge on them.
