1. The Lord spoke his word to me, saying:
|
1. The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 again unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Human, look toward the people of Ammon and prophesy against them.
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , set H7760 thy face H6440 against H413 the Ammonites H1121 H5983 , and prophesy H5012 against H5921 them;
|
|
3. Say to them, 'Hear the word of the Lord God. This is what the Lord God says: You were glad when my Temple was dishonored, when the land of Israel was ruined, and when the people of Judah were taken away as captives.
|
3. And say H559 unto the Ammonites H1121 H5983 , Hear H8085 the word H1697 of the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 thou saidst H559 , Aha H1889 , against H413 my sanctuary H4720 , when H3588 it was profaned H2490 ; and against H413 the land H127 of Israel H3478 , when H3588 it was desolate H8074 ; and against H413 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 , when H3588 they went H1980 into captivity H1473 ;
|
|
4. So I am going to give you to the people of the East to be theirs. They will set up their camps among you and make their homes among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.
|
4. Behold H2009 , therefore H3651 I will deliver H5414 thee to the men H1121 of the east H6924 for a possession H4181 , and they shall set H3427 their palaces H2918 in thee , and make H5414 their dwellings H4908 in thee: they H1992 shall eat H398 thy fruit H6529 , and they H1992 shall drink H8354 thy milk H2461 .
|
|
5. I will make the city of Rabbah a pasture for camels and the land of Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
|
5. And I will make H5414 H853 Rabbah H7237 a stable H5116 for camels H1581 , and the Ammonites H1121 H5983 a couching place H4769 for flocks H6629 : and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
6. This is what the Lord God says: You have clapped your hands and stamped your feet; you have laughed about all the insults you made against the land of Israel.
|
6. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 thou hast clapped H4222 thine hands H3027 , and stamped H7554 with the feet H7272 , and rejoiced H8055 in heart H5315 with all H3605 thy despite H7589 against H413 the land H127 of Israel H3478 ;
|
|
7. So I will use my power against you. I will give you to the nations as if you were treasures taken in war. I will wipe you out of the lands so you will no longer be a nation, and I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.'
|
7. Behold H2009 , therefore H3651 I will stretch out H5186 H853 mine hand H3027 upon H5921 thee , and will deliver H5414 thee for a spoil H957 to the heathen H1471 ; and I will cut thee off H3772 from H4480 the people H5971 , and I will cause thee to perish H6 out of H4480 the countries H776 : I will destroy H8045 thee ; and thou shalt know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
8. "This is what the Lord God says: 'Moab and Edom say, "The people of Judah are like all the other nations."
|
8. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because that H3282 Moab H4124 and Seir H8165 do say H559 , Behold H2009 , the house H1004 of Judah H3063 is like unto all H3605 the heathen H1471 ;
|
|
9. So I am going to take away the cities that protect Moab's borders, the best cities in that land: Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.
|
9. Therefore H3651 , behold H2009 , I will open H6605 H853 the side H3802 of Moab H4124 from the cities H4480 H5892 , from his cities H4480 H5892 which are on his frontiers H4480 H7097 , the glory H6643 of the country H776 , Beth H1020 -jeshimoth, Baal H1186 -meon , and Kiriathaim H7156 ,
|
|
10. Then I will give Moab, along with the Ammonites, to the people of the East as their possession. Then, along with the Ammonites, Moab will not be a nation anymore.
|
10. Unto the men H1121 of the east H6924 with H5921 the Ammonites H1121 H5983 , and will give H5414 them in possession H4181 , that H4616 the Ammonites H1121 H5983 may not H3808 be remembered H2142 among the nations H1471 .
|
|
11. So I will punish the people of Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.'
|
11. And I will execute H6213 judgments H8201 upon Moab H4124 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
|
|
12. "This is what the Lord God says: 'Edom took revenge on the people of Judah, and the Edomites became guilty because of it.
|
12. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because that H3282 Edom H123 hath dealt H6213 against the house H1004 of Judah H3063 by taking H5358 vengeance H5359 , and hath greatly offended H816 H816 , and revenged himself H5358 upon them;
|
|
13. So this is what the Lord God says: I will use my power against Edom, killing every human and animal in it. And I will destroy Edom all the way from Teman to Dedan as they die in battle.
|
13. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; I will also stretch out H5186 mine hand H3027 upon H5921 Edom H123 , and will cut off H3772 man H120 and beast H929 from H4480 it ; and I will make H5414 it desolate H2723 from Teman H4480 H8487 ; and they of Dedan H1719 shall fall H5307 by the sword H2719 .
|
|
14. I will use my people Israel to take revenge on Edom. So the Israelites will do to Edom what my hot anger demands. Then the Edomites will know what my revenge feels like, says the Lord God.'
|
14. And I will lay H5414 H853 my vengeance H5360 upon Edom H123 by the hand H3027 of my people H5971 Israel H3478 : and they shall do H6213 in Edom H123 according to mine anger H639 and according to my fury H2534 ; and they shall know H3045 H853 my vengeance H5360 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
15. "This is what the Lord God says: 'The Philistines have taken revenge with hateful hearts. Because of their strong hatred, they have tried to destroy Judah.
|
15. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 the Philistines H6430 have dealt H6213 by revenge H5360 , and have taken H5358 vengeance H5359 with a despiteful H7589 heart H5315 , to destroy H4889 it for the old H5769 hatred H342 ;
|
|
16. So this is what the Lord God says: I will use my power against the Philistines. I will kill the Kerethites, and I will destroy those people still alive on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
|
16. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I will stretch out H5186 mine hand H3027 upon H5921 the Philistines H6430 , and I will cut off H3772 H853 the Cherethims H3774 , and destroy H6 H853 the remnant H7611 of the sea H3220 coast H2348 .
|
|
17. I will punish them in my anger and do great acts of revenge to them. They will know that I am the Lord when I take revenge on them.'"
|
17. And I will execute H6213 great H1419 vengeance H5360 upon them with furious H2534 rebukes H8433 ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 , when I shall lay H5414 H853 my vengeance H5360 upon them.
