(Jer 49:1; Eze 2:1; Eze 6:2; Eze 21:20; Eze 21:28)3Say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God: Thus says the Lord God, Because you said, ‘Aha!’ over my sanctuary when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and over the house of Judah when they went into exile, (Eze 2:4; Eze 3:11; Eze 3:27; Eze 7:22; Eze 26:2; Eze 36:2)4therefore behold, I am handing you over to the people of the East for a possession, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings in your midst. They shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. (Jud 6:3)5I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and Ammon[1] a fold for flocks. Then you will know that I am the Lord. (2Sa 11:1; 2Sa 12:26; Eze 21:20; Eze 24:27; Zep 2:15)6For thus says the Lord God: Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet and rejoiced with all the malice within your soul against the land of Israel, (Ps 98:8; Isa 55:12; Eze 6:11; Eze 25:15; Eze 36:5; Zep 2:8; Zep 2:10)7therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand against you, and will hand you over as plunder to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples and will make you perish out of the countries; I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the Lord. (Eze 6:14; Eze 7:21; Eze 25:4)

(Jos 12:3; 1Ch 5:8; Jer 48:1; Eze 25:8)10I will give it along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, that the Ammonites may be remembered no more among the nations, (Eze 21:32; Eze 25:2; Eze 25:4)11and I will execute judgments upon Moab.

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: because you said ‘Aha!’ over my sanctuary when it was desecrated and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and over the people of Judah when they went into exile,4therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East as a possession. They will set up their camps and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.5I will turn Rabbah into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting-place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the Lord.6For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,7therefore I will stretch out my hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the Lord.” ’
A prophecy against Moab

Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I take vengeance on them.” ’
1A message from the LORD came to me. The LORD said,2‘Son of man, turn your attention to the Ammonites. Prophesy against them.3Tell them, “Listen to the message of the LORD and King. He says, ‘You laughed when my temple was made “unclean”. You also laughed when the land of Israel was completely destroyed. You mocked the people of Judah when they were taken away as prisoners.4So I am going to hand you over to the people of the east. They will set up their tents in your land. They will camp among you. They will eat your fruit. They will drink your milk.5I will turn the city of Rabbah into grasslands for camels. Ammon will become a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’ ” ’6The LORD and King says, ‘You clapped your hands. You stamped your feet. Deep down inside, you hated the land of Israel.

I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’

They will know how I pay back my enemies,’ announces the LORD and King.
A prophecy against the Philistines
15The LORD and King says, ‘Deep down inside them, the Philistines hated Judah. So the Philistines tried to get even with them. They had been Judah’s enemies for many years.

I will destroy those who remain along the coast.17You can be sure that I will pay them back. I will punish them because my anger against them is great. When I pay them back, they will know that I am the LORD.’

King James Version
1The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,2Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;3And 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;4Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men 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.5And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.6For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;7Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil 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.8Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;9Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,10Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.11And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.12Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;13Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.14And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.15Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;16Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.17And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
Gegen die unmittelbaren Nachbarn Ammon, Moab, Edom und die Philister
1Das Wort des HERRN erging an mich: (Jer 49:1; Eze 21:33; Am 1:13)2Menschensohn, richte dein Gesicht gegen die Ammoniter, sprich als Prophet über sie3und sag zu den Ammonitern: Hört das Wort GOTTES, des Herrn: So spricht GOTT, der Herr: Weil du gegen mein Heiligtum Ha! gesprochen hast, dass es entweiht wurde, und gegen den Ackerboden Israels, dass er verwüstet wurde, und gegen das Haus Juda, dass es verschleppt wurde, (Eze 26:2; Eze 36:2)4darum, siehe, gebe ich dich den Söhnen des Ostens zum Besitz. Sie werden ihre Zelte bei dir aufschlagen und ihre Siedlungen bei dir errichten. Sie sind es, die deine Früchte essen, und sie sind es, die deine Milch trinken werden.5Rabba mache ich zum Weideplatz für Kamele und die Ammoniter zum Lager für Schafe. Dann werdet ihr erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin.6Denn so spricht GOTT, der Herr: Weil du in die Hände geklatscht und mit dem Fuß gestampft hast, voll höhnischer Schadenfreude über den Ackerboden Israels, (Eze 6:11; Eze 21:19)7darum, siehe, strecke ich meine Hand gegen dich aus, ich überlasse dich den Völkern zur Plünderung, ich rotte dich aus unter den Nationen und sorge dafür, dass du aus der Zahl der Länder verschwindest; ich vernichte dich. Dann wirst du erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin. (Eze 6:14; Eze 26:5; Eze 36:4)8So spricht GOTT, der Herr: Weil Moab und Seïr sagen: Siehe, dem Haus Juda geht es wie allen Völkern!, (Isa 15:1; Jer 48:1)9darum, siehe, will ich die Flanke Moabs öffnen, sodass es bei ihm keine Stadt mehr gibt von einem Ende zum andern, nicht mehr Bet-Jeschimot, Baal-Meon und Kirjatajim, die Zierde des Landes.[1]10Zusammen mit den Ammonitern gebe ich es den Söhnen des Ostens zum Besitz, sodass die Ammoniter unter den Nationen nicht mehr erwähnt werden11und ich an Moab das Urteil vollstrecke. Dann werden sie erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin.12So spricht GOTT, der Herr: Weil Edom sich am Haus Juda gerächt hat, weil es Schuld auf sich geladen und Rache an ihm genommen hat, (Ps 137:7; Isa 34:1; Jer 49:7; Eze 35:1; Am 1:11)13darum - so spricht GOTT, der Herr: Ich strecke meine Hand gegen Edom aus, ich vernichte darin Mensch und Tier und ich mache es zur Wüste von Teman aus und bis Dedan sollen sie unter dem Schwert fallen.[2]14Ich lege meine Rache an Edom in die Hand meines Volkes Israel. Sie werden an Edom meinem Zorn und meinem Grimm entsprechend handeln. Dann werden sie meine Rache kennenlernen - Spruch GOTTES, des Herrn.15So spricht GOTT, der Herr: Weil die Philister rachsüchtig gehandelt haben und voll Verachtung Rache nahmen, um aus uralter Feindschaft Vernichtung zu bringen, (Isa 14:29; Jer 47:1; Am 1:6; Zep 2:4)16darum - so spricht GOTT, der Herr: Siehe, ich will jetzt meine Hand gegen die Philister ausstrecken, ich will die Kereter ausrotten und den Rest an der Küste des Meeres vernichten.[3]17Ich nehme an ihnen gewaltige Rache, mit grimmigen Strafen. Dann werden sie erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin, wenn ich mich an ihnen räche.
