Prophecy Against Ammon

25 The ·Lord spoke his word [^Lword of the Lord came] to me, saying: ² “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], ·look [^Lset your face] toward the people of Ammon and prophesy against them. ³ Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Lord God. This is what the Lord God says: You ·were glad [^Lsaid, “Aha!”] when my ·Temple [sanctuary] was ·dishonored [defiled; profaned; ^Critually], when the land of Israel was ·ruined [made desolate], and when the ·people [^Lhouse] of Judah ·were taken away as captives [went into exile]. ⁴ So [^LLook; ^TBehold] I am going to give you to the people of the East ·to be theirs [^Las a possession]. They will set up their camps among you and make their ·homes [dwelling places] among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk. 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. ⁶ For 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 [^Lrejoiced with the scorn/malice of your soul] against the land of Israel. ⁷ So I will ·use my power [^Lstretch out my hand] against you. I will give you to the nations as ·if you were treasures taken in war [plunder]. I will cut you off from the ·nations [peoples] and wipe you out of the ·countries [lands], and I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’
