Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you said, `Aha!' R848 against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into exile, 4 therefore, behold, I am going to give you to the sons R849 of the east for a possession, and they will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will eat R850 your fruit and drink your milk. 5 "I will make Rabbah R851 a pasture for camels and the sons of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Thus you will know that I am the LORD." 6 `For thus says the Lord GOD, "Because you have clapped R852 your hands and stamped your feet and rejoiced R853 with all the scorn of your soul against the land of Israel, 7 therefore, behold, I have stretched R854 out My hand against you and I will give you for spoil R855 to the nations. And I will cut R856 you off from the peoples and make R857 you perish from the lands; I will destroy you. Thus you will know R858 that I am the LORD." Moab 8 `Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because Moab R859 and Seir say, `Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,' 9 therefore, behold, I am going to deprive F344 the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities which are on its frontiers, F345 the glory of the land, Beth-jeshimoth, R860 Baal-meon R861 and Kiriathaim, R862 10 and I will give it for a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the sons R863 of the east, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations. 11 "Thus I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD." Edom 12 `Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because Edom R864 has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred grievous guilt, and avenged themselves upon them," 13 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "I will also stretch R865 out My hand against Edom and cut R866 off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste; from Teman R867 even to Dedan R868 they will fall by the sword. 14 "I R869 will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom according R870 to My anger and according to My wrath; thus they will know My vengeance," declares the Lord GOD. Philistia 15 `Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because the Philistines have acted in revenge R871 and have taken vengeance with scorn of soul to destroy with everlasting enmity," 16 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will stretch R872 out My hand against the Philistines, even cut off the Cherethites R873 and destroy the remnant of the seacoast. 17 "I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will know R874 that I am the LORD when I lay My vengeance on them.""'
