A Prophecy Against Ammon

1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, set your face against¹ the Ammonites² and prophesy against them.³ 3 Say to them, 'Hear the word of the Sovereign LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you said "Aha!⁴" over my sanctuary when it was desecrated⁵ and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and over the people of Judah when they went into exile,⁶ 4 therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East⁷ as a possession. They will set up their camps⁸ and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.⁹ 5 I will turn Rabbah¹⁰ into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting place for sheep.¹¹ Then you will know that I am the LORD. 6 For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you have clapped your hands¹² and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,¹³ 7 therefore I will stretch out my hand¹⁴ against you and give you as plunder¹⁵ to the nations. I will cut you off from the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy¹⁶ you, and you will know that I am the LORD.¹⁷' "
