New American Standard Bible 1995
Judgment on Gentile Nations--Ammon
1And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 your faceH6440 towardH413 the 1sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 and prophesyH5012 againstH5921 them, 3and sayH559 to the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, ‘HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 2GodH3068! ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BecauseH3282 you saidH559, ‘3AhaH1889!’ againstH413 My sanctuaryH4720 whenH3588 it was profanedH2490, and againstH413 the landH127 of IsraelH3478 whenH3588 it was madeH8074 desolateH8074, and againstH413 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 whenH3588 they wentH1980 into exileH1473, 4thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am going to giveH5414 you to the 4sonsH1121 of the eastH6924 for a possessionH4181, and they will setH3427 their encampmentsH2918 among you and makeH5414 their dwellingsH4908 among you; they will 5eatH398 your fruitH6529 and drinkH8354 your milkH2461. 5I will makeH5414 6RabbahH7237 a pastureH5116 for camelsH1581 and the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 a restingH4769 placeH4769 for flocksH6629. Thus you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.” 6For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BecauseH3282 you have 7clappedH4222 your handsH3027 and stampedH7554 your feetH7272 and 8rejoicedH8055 with allH3605 the scornH7589 of your soulH5315 againstH413 the landH127 of IsraelH3478, 7thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I have 9stretchedH5186 out My handH3027 againstH5921 you and I will giveH5414 you for 10spoilH957 to the nationsH1471. And I will 11cutH3772 you offH3772 from the peoplesH5971 and 12make you perishH6 from the landsH776; I will destroyH8045 you. Thus you will 13knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”
Moab
8‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BecauseH3282 14MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 sayH559, ‘BeholdH2009, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like allH3605 the nationsH1471,’ 9thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am going to 15depriveH6605 the flankH3802 of MoabH4124 of its citiesH5892, of its citiesH5892 which are on its 16frontiersH7097, the gloryH6643 of the landH776, 17Beth-jeshimothH1020, 18Baal-meonH1186 and 19KiriathaimH7156, 10and I will giveH5414 it for a possessionH4181 alongH5921 with the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 to the 20sonsH1121 of the eastH6924, soH4616 that the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 will not be rememberedH2142 among the nationsH1471. 11Thus I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 on MoabH4124, and they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”
Edom
12‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BecauseH3282 21EdomH112 has actedH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and has incurredH816 grievousH816 guiltH816, and avengedH5358 themselves upon them,” 13thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “I will also 22stretchH5186 out My handH3027 againstH5921 EdomH112 and 23cutH3772 offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it. And I will layH5414 it wasteH2723; from 24TemanH8487 even to 25DedanH1719 they will fallH5307 by the swordH2719. 1426I will layH5414 My vengeanceH5360 on EdomH112 by the handH3027 of My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. Therefore, they will actH6213 in EdomH112 27according to My angerH639 and according to My wrathH2534; thus they will knowH3045 My vengeanceH5360,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
Philistia
15‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BecauseH3282 the PhilistinesH6430 have actedH6213 in 28revengeH5360 and have takenH5358 vengeanceH5359 with scornH7589 of soulH5315 to destroyH4889 with everlastingH5769 enmityH342,” 16thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I will 29stretchH5186 out My handH3027 againstH5921 the PhilistinesH6430, even cutH3772 offH3772 the 30CherethitesH3774 and destroyH6 the remnantH7611 of the seacoastH3220H2348. 17I will executeH6213 greatH1419 vengeanceH5360 on them with wrathfulH2534 rebukesH8433; and they will 31knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 when I layH5414 My vengeanceH5360 on them.”’”
