Say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God: (A)Thus says the Lord God, Because you said, (B)‘Aha!’ over my (C)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, therefore behold, I am handing you over to (D)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. I will make (E)Rabbah a (F)pasture for camels and Ammon[a] (G)a fold for flocks. (H)Then you will know that I am the Lord. For thus says the Lord God: Because (I)you have clapped your hands (J)and stamped your feet and (K)rejoiced with all the (L)malice within your soul against the land of Israel, therefore, behold, (M)I have stretched out my hand against you, and (N)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

“Thus says the Lord God: Because (O)Moab and (P)Seir[b] said, ‘Behold, the (Q)house of Judah is like all the other nations,’ therefore (R)I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities, from its cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, (S)Beth-jeshimoth, (T)Baal-meon, and (U)Kiriathaim. 10 I will give it (V)along with the Ammonites (W)to the people of the East as a possession, (X)that the Ammonites may be remembered no more among the nations, 11 (Y)and I will execute judgments upon Moab. (Z)Then they will know that I am the Lord.
