The word of the Lord came unto me After he had done prophesying to the Jews, he is bid to prophesy against the Gentiles, the nations that lay nearest the Jews: saying; as follows:
1
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2
"Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them;
3
and say unto the Ammonites, `Hear the word of the Lord GOD. Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou saidst, "Aha," against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity,
4
behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the East as 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 make Rabbah a stable for camels and Ammon a couching place for flocks; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
