2 Son of man, set thy face against the children of Ammon, and thou shalt prophesy of them.
3 And thou shalt say to the children of Ammon: Hear ye the word of our Lord God: Thus saith our Lord God: For that thou hast said: Ha, ha, upon my sanctuary, because it is polluted: and upon the Land of Israel, because it is made desolate: and upon the house of Juda, because they are led into captivity:
3 ¹And thou shalt say to the children of Ammon: Hear ye the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast said: Ha, ha, upon my sanctuary, because it was profaned: and upon the land of Israel, because it was laid waste: and upon the house of Juda, because they are led into captivity:
4 Therefore will I deliver thee to the children of the east for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes in thee, and shall set their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits: and they shall drink thy milk.
4 Therefore will I deliver thee to the men of the east for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes in thee, and shall set up their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits: and they shall drink thy milk.

6 Because thus saith our Lord God: For that thou hast clapped with the hand, and strucken with the foot, and hast been glad with all thy affection upon the land of Israel:
6 For thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast clapped thy hands and stamped with thy foot, and hast rejoiced with all thy heart against the land of Israel:
7 therefore behold I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee into the spoil of the Gentiles, and will kill thee out of the peoples, and destroy thee out of the lands, and break thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
7 Therefore behold I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee to be the spoil of nations, and will cut thee off from among the people, and destroy thee out of the lands, and break thee in pieces: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
8 Thus saith our Lord God: For that Moab, and Seir have said: Behold as all the Gentiles, so is the house of Juda:
8 Thus saith the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have said: Behold the house of Juda is like all other nations:
9 therefore behold I will open the shoulder of Moab of his cities, of his cities I say, and of his borders the noble cities of the land Bethiesimoth, and Beelmeon, and Cariathaim,
9 Therefore behold I will open the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from his cities, I say, and his borders, the noble cities of the land of Bethiesimoth, and Beelmeon, and Cariathaim,
10 to the children of the East with the children of Ammon, & I will give it for an inheritance: that there may be memory no more of the children of Ammon among the Gentiles.
10 To the people of the east with the children of Ammon, and I will give it them for an inheritance: that there may be no more any remembrance of the children of Ammon among the nations.

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I will stretch forth my hand upon Edom, and will take away out of it man and beast, and will make it desolate from the south: and they that are in Dedan shall fall by the sword.

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will stretch forth my hand upon the Philistines, and will kill the killers, and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them, rebuking them in fury: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
