Tell them to listen to the word of the Eternal Lord:

(to Ammon) Because you delighted in the desecration of My sanctuary, because you rejoiced when Israel became a wasteland, and because you cheered when the Judeans went into exile, I will certainly hand you over to the people of the East. They will set up camp all around you, pitching their tents and settling among you. They will feast off of your tables, eating your fruit and drinking your milk. I will transform Rabbah, your great city, into a pasture for camels, and Ammon will be turned into a resting place for sheep and goats. Then you will know that I am the Eternal One.

They will set up their camps(E) and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.(F) I will turn Rabbah(G) into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting place for sheep.(H) Then you will know that I am the Lord.
