Prophecy Against Ammon

25 The word of the Lord came to me: ²^(A)“Son of man, ^(B)set your face toward ^(C)the Ammonites and prophesy against them. ³Say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God: ^(D)Thus says the Lord God, Because you said, ^(E)‘Aha!’ over my ^(F)sanctuary when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and over the house of Judah when they went into exile, ⁴therefore behold, I am handing you over to ^(G)the people of the East for a possession, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings in your midst. They shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. ⁵I will make ^(H)Rabbah a ^(I)pasture for camels and Ammon^[a] ^(J)a fold for flocks. ^(K)Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Judgment on Ammon

49 ^(A)Concerning the Ammonites.

Thus says the Lord:

“Has Israel no sons?
    Has he no heir?
Why then has ^(B)Milcom^[a] ^(C)dispossessed Gad,
    and his people settled in its cities?
²Therefore, behold, the days are coming,
    declares the Lord,
when I will cause ^(D)the battle cry to be heard
    against ^(E)Rabbah of the Ammonites;
it shall become a desolate ^(F)mound,
    and its villages shall be burned with fire;
then Israel shall dispossess those who dispossessed him,
    says the Lord.

³“Wail, O ^(G)Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste!
    Cry out, O daughters of ^(H)Rabbah!
^(I)Put on sackcloth,
    lament, and run to and fro among the hedges!
For ^(J)Milcom shall go into exile,
    ^(K)with his priests and his officials.
⁴Why do you boast of your valleys,^[b]
    ^(L)O faithless daughter,
^(M)who trusted in her treasures, saying,
    ‘Who will come against me?’
⁵Behold, ^(N)I will bring terror upon you,
    declares the Lord God of hosts,
    from all who are around you,
and you shall be driven out, every man straight before him,
    with none to gather the fugitives.

⁶“But ^(O)afterward I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites, declares the Lord.”

English Standard Version

¹³Thus says the Lord:

^(A)“For three transgressions of the ^(B)Ammonites,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^(C)they have ripped open pregnant women in ^(D)Gilead,
    that they might enlarge their border.
¹⁴So I will kindle a fire in the wall of ^(E)Rabbah,
    ^(F)and it shall devour her strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,
    ^(G)with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
¹⁵and ^(H)their king shall go into exile,
    he and his princes^[a] together,”
says the Lord.
