Yechezkel 25:1-7

1 5 The Devar Hashem came again unto me, saying,
2 Ben adam, set thy face against the Bnei Ammon, and prophesy against them;
3 And say unto the Bnei Ammon, Hear the Devar Adonoi Hashem: thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Because thou saidst, Aha, against my [Beis Ha] Mikdash, when it was desecrated; and against Admat Yisroel, when it was laid waste; and against the Bais Yehudah, when they went into Golus;
4 Hineni, therefore I will deliver thee to the Bnei Kedem for a morashah (possession, inheritance), and they shall set up their camps in thee, and make their mishkanim in thee; they shall eat thy pri, and they shall drink thy cholov (milk).
5 And I will make Rabbah a pasture for gemalim (camels), and the Bnei Ammon a resting place for tzon; and ye shall have da’as that I am Hashem.
6 For thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the regel, and rejoiced with all thy malice against Admat Yisroel;
7 Hineni, therefore I will stretch out mine yad upon thee, and will hand thee over for plunder to the Goyim; and I will cut thee off from the nations, and I will cause thee to perish from the countries; I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am Hashem.
