1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2Son of man, set thy face steadfastly against the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them;

3and thou shalt say to the children of Ammon, Hear ye the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord; Forasmuch as ye have rejoiced against my sanctuary, because it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, because it was laid waste; and against the house of Judah, because they went into captivity;

4therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of Kedem for an inheritance, and they shall lodge in thee with their stuff, and they shall pitch their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits, and they shall drink thy milk.

5And I will give up the city of Ammon for camels’ pastures, and the children of Ammon for a pasture of sheep: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

6For thus saith the Lord; Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with thy foot, and heartily rejoiced against the land of Israel;

7therefore I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a spoil to the nations; and I will utterly destroy thee from among the peoples, and I will completely cut thee off from out of the countries: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

8Thus saith the Lord; Because Moab has said, Behold, are not the house of Israel and Judah like all the other nations?

9Therefore, behold, I will weaken the shoulder of Moab from his frontier cities, even the choice land, the house of Beth-jeshimoth above the fountain of the city, by the seaside.

10I have given him the children of Kedem in addition to the children of Ammon for an inheritance, that there may be no remembrance of the children of Ammon.

11And I will execute vengeance on Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

12Thus saith the Lord; Because of what the Edomites have done in taking vengeance on the house of Judah, and because they have remembered injuries, and have exacted full recompense;

13therefore thus saith the Lord; I will also stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will utterly destroy out of it man and beast; and will make it desolate; and they that are pursued out of Teman shall fall by the sword.

14And I will execute my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall deal in Edom according to mine anger and according to my wrath, and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord.

15Therefore thus saith the Lord, Because the Philistines have wrought revengefully, and raised up vengeance rejoicing from their heart to destroy the Israelites to a man;

16therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and will utterly destroy the Cretans, and will cut off the remnant that dwell by the seacoast.

17And I will execute great vengeance upon them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have brought my vengeance upon them.
