Judgment on Gentile Nations--Ammon

1And the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 your faceH6440 againstH413 the 1sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 and prophesyH5012 againstH5921 them, 3and sayH559 to the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, ‘HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 2GodH3068! ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “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 45peopleH1121 of the eastH6924 as a possessionH4181, and they will setH3427 upH3427 their encampmentsH2918 among you and makeH5414 their dwellingsH4908 among you; they will 6eatH398 your fruitH6529 and drinkH8354 your milkH2461. 5I will makeH5414 7RabbahH7237 a pastureH5116 for camelsH1581, and the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 a restingH4769 placeH4769 for flocksH6629. Then you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.” 6For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BecauseH3282 you have 8clappedH4222 your handsH3027 and stampedH7554 your feetH7272, and have 9rejoicedH8055 with allH3605 the maliceH7589 in your soulH5315 againstH413 the landH127 of IsraelH3478, 7thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I have 10reachedH5186 outH5186 with My handH3027 againstH5921 you and I will giveH5414 you as 11plunderH957 to the nationsH1471. And I will 12cutH3772 you offH3772 from the peoplesH5971 and 13eliminateH6 you from the landsH776. I will exterminateH8045 you. So you will 14knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”

Moab

8‘The LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: “BecauseH3282 15MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 sayH559, ‘BeholdH2009, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like allH3605 the nationsH1471,’ 9thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am going to 16depriveH6605 the flankH3802 of MoabH4124 of its citiesH5892, of its citiesH5892 17which are on its frontiersH7097, the gloryH6643 of the landH776, 18Beth-jeshimothH1020, 19Baal-meonH1186, and 20KiriathaimH7156; 10and I will giveH5414 it as a possessionH4181 alongH5921 withH5921 the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 to the 2122peopleH1121 of the eastH6924, soH4616 thatH4616 the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 will not be rememberedH2142 among the nationsH1471. 11So I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 on MoabH4124, and they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.”

Edom

12‘The LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: “BecauseH3282 23EdomH112 has actedH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and has incurredH816 greatH816 guiltH816, and avengedH5358 themselves upon them,” 13thereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “I will also 24reachH5186 outH5186 with My handH3027 againstH5921 EdomH112 and 25eliminateH3772 humanH120 and animalH929 life from it. And I will turnH5414 it into ruinsH2723; from 26TemanH8487 even to 27DedanH1719 they will fallH5307 by the swordH2719. 14And 28I will inflictH5414 My vengeanceH5360 on EdomH112 by the handH3027 of My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. Therefore, they will actH6213 in EdomH112 29in accordance with My angerH639 and My wrathH2534; so they will knowH3045 My vengeanceH5360,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

Philistia

15‘ThisH3541 isH3541 what the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BecauseH3282 the PhilistinesH6430 have actedH6213 in 30revengeH5360, and have takenH5358 vengeanceH5359 with maliceH7589 in their soulsH5315 to destroyH4889 with everlastingH5769 hostilityH342,” 16thereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am going to 31reachH5186 outH5186 with My handH3027 againstH5921 the PhilistinesH6430 and eliminateH3772 the 32CherethitesH3774; and I will destroyH6 the remnantH7611 of the seacoastH3220H2348. 17I will executeH6213 greatH1419 vengeanceH5360 on them with wrathfulH2534 rebukesH8433; and they will 33knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, when I inflictH5414 My vengeanceH5360 on them.”’”
