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. 3 Say 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, 4 therefore 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. 5 I 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. 6 For thus says the Lord God: Because (L)you have clapped your hands (M)and stamped your feet and (N)rejoiced with all the (O)malice within your soul against the land of Israel, 7 therefore, behold, (P)I have stretched out my hand against you, and (Q)will hand you over as plunder to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples and will make you perish out of the countries; I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Prophecy Against Moab and Seir
8 “Thus says the Lord God: Because (R)Moab and (S)Seir[b] said, ‘Behold, the (T)house of Judah is like all the other nations,’ 9 therefore (U)I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities, from its cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, (V)Beth-jeshimoth, (W)Baal-meon, and (X)Kiriathaim. 10 I will give it (Y)along with the Ammonites (Z)to the people of the East as a possession, (AA)that the Ammonites may be remembered no more among the nations, 11 (AB)and I will execute judgments upon Moab. (AC)Then they will know that I am the Lord.
Prophecy Against Edom
12 “Thus says the Lord God: Because (AD)Edom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended (AE)in taking vengeance on them, 13 therefore thus says the Lord God, (AF)I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast. And I will make it desolate; from (AG)Teman even to (AH)Dedan they shall fall by the sword. 14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom (AI)by the hand of my people Israel, and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath, and (AJ)they shall know my vengeance, declares the Lord God.
Prophecy Against Philistia
15 “Thus says the Lord God: Because (AK)the Philistines (AL)acted revengefully and took vengeance (AM)with malice of soul to destroy in never-ending enmity, 16 therefore thus says the Lord God, (AN)Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off (AO)the Cherethites and destroy the rest of the seacoast. 17 I will execute great vengeance on them (AP)with wrathful rebukes. (AQ)Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon them.”

Edom's Violence Against Jacob
10 (A)Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
(B)and you shall be cut off forever.
11 (C)On the day that you stood aloof,
(D)on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
(E)and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
12 (F)But do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
(G)do not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
(H)do not boast[a]
in the day of distress.
13 (I)Do not enter the gate of my people
in the day of their calamity;
(J)do not gloat over his disaster
in the day of his calamity;
(K)do not loot his wealth
in the day of his calamity.
14 (L)Do not stand at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
in the day of distress.
The Day of the Lord Is Near
15 For (M)the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
(N)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
your deeds shall return on your own head.

so all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and swallow,
and shall be as though they had never been.

Judgment on Israel's Neighbors
2 And he said:
(A)“The Lord roars from Zion
and utters his voice from Jerusalem;
(B)the pastures of the shepherds mourn,
and the (C)top of (D)Carmel withers.”
3 Thus says the Lord:
(E)“For three transgressions of (F)Damascus,
and for four, (G)I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they have threshed (H)Gilead
with threshing sledges of iron.
4 (I)So I will send a fire upon the house of (J)Hazael,
and it shall devour the strongholds of (K)Ben-hadad.
5 I will (L)break the gate-bar of (M)Damascus,
and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of (N)Aven,[b]
and him who holds the scepter from (O)Beth-eden;
and the people of (P)Syria shall go into exile to (Q)Kir,”
says the Lord.
6 Thus says the Lord:
(R)“For three transgressions of (S)Gaza,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (T)they carried into exile a whole people
to deliver them up to Edom.
7 So I will send a fire upon the wall of (U)Gaza,
and it shall devour her strongholds.
8 I will cut off the inhabitants from (V)Ashdod,
and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
says the Lord God.
9 Thus says the Lord:
(W)“For three transgressions of (X)Tyre,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they delivered up a whole people to Edom,
and did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
10 So I will send a fire upon the wall of (Y)Tyre,
and it shall devour her strongholds.”
11 Thus says the Lord:
(Z)“For three transgressions of (AA)Edom,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
(AB)because he pursued his brother with the sword
(AC)and cast off all pity,
(AD)and his anger tore perpetually,
(AE)and he kept his wrath forever.
12 So I will send a fire upon (AF)Teman,
and it shall devour the strongholds of (AG)Bozrah.”
13 Thus says the Lord:
(AH)“For three transgressions of the (AI)Ammonites,

14 So I will kindle a fire in the wall of (AL)Rabbah,
(AM)and it shall devour her strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,

Prophecy Against Mount Seir
35 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 (A)“Son of man, (B)set your face (C)against (D)Mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3 and say to it, Thus says the Lord God: (E)Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and (F)I will stretch out my hand against you, (G)and I will make you a desolation and a waste. 4 (H)I will lay your cities waste, and you shall become a desolation, and you shall know that I am the Lord. 5 Because (I)you cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword (J)at the time of their calamity, (K)at the time of their final punishment, 6 therefore, (L)as I live, declares the Lord God, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; (M)because you did not hate bloodshed, therefore blood shall pursue you. 7 (N)I will make Mount Seir a waste (O)and a desolation, and I will cut off from it (P)all who come and go. 8 And I will fill (Q)its mountains with the slain. On your hills and in your valleys and in all (R)your ravines (S)those slain with the sword shall fall. 9 (T)I will make you a perpetual desolation, and (U)your cities shall not be inhabited. Then (V)you will know that I am the Lord.
10 “Because you said, (W)‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and (X)we will take possession of them’—although the (Y)Lord was there— 11 therefore, (Z)as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you (AA)according to the anger and (AB)envy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And (AC)I will make myself known among them, when I judge you. 12 And you shall know that I am the Lord.
(AD)“I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are laid desolate; (AE)they are given us to devour.’ 13 And (AF)you magnified yourselves against me (AG)with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it. 14 Thus says the Lord God: (AH)While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. 15 As you (AI)rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, (AJ)Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it.
