Proclamation Against Ammon

¹The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ²“Son of man, ⚓set your face ⚓against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them. ³Say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God: ⚓“Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity, ⁴indeed, therefore, I will deliver you as a possession to the men of the East, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. ⁵And I will make ⚓Rabbah ⚓a stable for camels and Ammon a resting place for flocks. ⚓Then you shall know that I am the Lord.”
⁶‘For thus says the Lord God: “Because you ⚓clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and ⚓rejoiced in heart with all your disdain for the land of Israel, ⁷indeed, therefore, I will ⚓stretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations; I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from the countries; I will destroy you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”

Proclamation Against Moab

⁸‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because ⚓Moab and ⚓Seir say, ‘Look! The house of Judah is like all the nations,’ ⁹therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and ⚓Kirjathaim. ¹⁰⚓To the men of the East I will give it as a possession, together with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites ⚓may not be remembered among the nations. ¹¹And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the Lord.”

Proclamation Against Edom

¹²‘Thus says the Lord God: ⚓“Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended by avenging itself on them,” ¹³therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom, cut off man and beast from it, and make it desolate from Teman; Dedan shall fall by the sword. ¹⁴⚓I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, that they may do in Edom according to My anger and according to My fury; and they shall know My vengeance,” says the Lord God.

Proclamation Against Philistia

¹⁵‘Thus says the Lord God: ⚓“Because ⚓the Philistines dealt vengefully and took vengeance with a spiteful heart, to destroy because of the old hatred,” ¹⁶therefore thus says the Lord God: ⚓“I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the ⚓Cherethites ⚓and destroy the remnant of the seacoast. ¹⁷I will ⚓execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; ⚓and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay My vengeance upon them.” ’ ”
