Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men[a] of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
5
And I will makeRabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonitesacouchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
6
For thus saith the LordGOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands,[b] and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;
7
Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil[c]* to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
8
Thus saith the LordGOD;Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;
9
Therefore, behold, I will open the side[d] of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country,Bethjeshimoth,Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,
10
Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites*, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonitesmay not be remembered among the nations.
11
And I will executejudgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
12
Thus saith the LordGOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by takingvengeance, and hath greatlyoffended, and revenged himself upon them;
13
Therefore thus saith the LordGOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut offman and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
14
And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my peopleIsrael: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance,saith the LordGOD.
