therefore, behold,
1I have stretched out my hand against you, and
2will 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
3Moab and
4Seir said, 'Behold, the
5house of Judah is like all the other nations,'
9
therefore
6I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities, from its cities on its frontier, the glory of the country,
7Beth-jeshimoth,
8Baal-meon, and
9Kiriathaim.
10
I will give it
10along with the Ammonites
11to the people of the East as a possession,
12that the Ammonites may be remembered no more among the nations,
11
13and I will execute judgments upon Moab.
14Then they will know that I am the LORD.
Prophecy Against Edom
12 "Thus says the Lord GOD: Because
15Edom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended
16in taking vengeance on them,
13
therefore thus says the Lord GOD,
17I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast. And I will make it desolate; from
18Teman even to
19Dedan they shall fall by the sword.
14
And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom
20by the hand of my people Israel, and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath, and
21they shall know my vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.
Prophecy Against Philistia
15 "Thus says the Lord GOD: Because
22the Philistines
23acted revengefully and took vengeance
24with malice of soul to destroy in never-ending enmity,
16
therefore thus says the Lord GOD,
25Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off
26the Cherethites and destroy the rest of the seacoast.
17
I will execute great vengeance on them
27with wrathful rebukes.
28Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance upon them."
