251 And the word of the Lord came to me saying , 2 "Son of man , set your face toward the sons of Ammon and prophesy against them, 3 and say to the sons of Ammon , '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 made desolate , and against the house of Judah when they went into exile , 4 therefore , behold , I am going to give you to the sons of the east for a possession , and they will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk . 5 "I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and the sons of Ammon a resting place for flocks . Thus you will know that I am the Lord ." 6 'For thus says the Lord GOD , "Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet and rejoiced with all the scorn of your soul against the land of Israel , 7 therefore , behold , I have stretched out My hand against you and I will give you for spoil to the nations . And I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands ; I will destroy you. Thus you will know that I am the Lord ."
8 'Thus says the Lord GOD , "Because Moab and Seir say , 'Behold , the house of Judah is like all the nations ,' 9 therefore , behold , I am going to deprive the flank of Moab of its cities , of its cities which are on its frontiers , the glory of the land , Beth-jeshimoth , Baal-meon and Kiriathaim , 10 and I will give it for a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the sons of the east , so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations . 11 "Thus I will execute judgments on Moab , and they will know that I am the Lord ."
12 'Thus says the Lord GOD , "Because Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance , and has incurred grievous guilt , and avenged themselves upon them," 13 therefore thus says the Lord GOD , "I will also stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste ; from Teman even to Dedan they will fall by the sword . 14 " I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel . Therefore, they will act in Edom according to My anger and according to My wrath ; thus they will know My vengeance ," declares the Lord GOD .
15 'Thus says the Lord GOD , "Because the Philistines have acted in revenge and have taken vengeance with scorn of soul to destroy with everlasting enmity ," 16 therefore thus says the Lord GOD , "Behold , I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines , even cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast e . 17 "I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes ; and they will know that I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance on them.""'
