1. The word of the Lord came to me. He said,
|
1. The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 again unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Son of man, look toward the people of Ammon and speak against them for me.
|
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: 'Listen to the word of the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says: You were happy when my holy place was destroyed. You were against the land of Israel when it was polluted. You were against the family of Judah when the people were carried away as prisoners.
|
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 will give you to the people from the east. They will get your land. Their armies will set up their camps in your country. They will live among you and 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 Rabbah a pasture for camels and the country of Ammon a sheep pen. 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 says: You were happy that Jerusalem was destroyed. You clapped your hands and stamped your feet. You had fun insulting 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 punish you. You will be like the valuable things soldiers take in war. You will lose your inheritance and die in faraway lands. I will destroy your country! 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 Seir say, 'The family of Judah is just like any other nation.'
|
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. I will cut into Moab's shoulder�I will take away its cities, which are on its borders, the glory of the 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 these cities to the people of the east. They will get your land. I will also let those people from the east destroy the Ammonites, and people will forget they were ever a nation.
|
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 Moab, and then 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: "The people of Edom turned against the family of Judah and tried to get even. The people of Edom are guilty."
|
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 the Lord God says: "I will punish Edom. I will destroy the people and the animals in Edom. I will destroy the whole country of Edom, all the way from Teman to Dedan. The Edomites will be killed 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 and get even against Edom. In this way the people of Israel will show my anger against Edom. Then the people of Edom will know that I punished them." This is what the Lord God said.
|
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 tried to get even. They were very cruel. They let their anger burn inside them too long."
|
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 the Lord God said, "I will punish the Philistines. Yes, I will destroy those people from Crete. I will completely destroy those people who live on the seacoast.
|
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�I will get even. I will let my anger teach them a lesson. Then they will know that I am the Lord!"
|
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.
