1: The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, |
|
2: Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy
against them; |
|
3:
And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD;
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, 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;
|
|
4: Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east
for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make
their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink
thy milk. |
|
5: And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites
a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. |
|
6: For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine
hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy
despite against the land of Israel; |
|
7: Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and
will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off
from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I
will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. |
|
8: Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say,
Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen; |
|
9: Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the
cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the
country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, |
|
10: Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give
them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the
nations. |
|
11: And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know
that I am the LORD. |
|
12: Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against
the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and
revenged himself upon them; |
|
13: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out
mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will
make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
|
|
14: And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my
people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and
according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord
GOD. |
|
15: Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt
by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy
it for the old hatred; |
|
16: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out
mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and
destroy the remnant of the sea coast. |
|
17: And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious
rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my
vengeance upon them. |
