A Prophecy Against Ammon
1The word of the Lord came to me: 2“Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them. 3Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. 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
8“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Moab and Seir said, “Look, Judah has become like all the other nations,” 9therefore I will expose the flank of Moab, beginning at its frontier towns—Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon and Kiriathaim—the glory of that land. 10I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations; 11and I will inflict punishment on Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’ ”
A Prophecy Against Edom
12“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Edom took revenge on Judah and became very guilty by doing so, 13therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and kill both man and beast. I will lay it waste, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword. 14I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign Lord.’ ”
A Prophecy Against Philistia
15“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because the Philistines acted in vengeance and took revenge with malice in their hearts, and with ancient hostility sought to destroy Judah, 16therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will wipe out the Kerethites and destroy those remaining along the coast. 17I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I take vengeance on them.’ ”
预言审判外族人
1耶和华对我说： 2“人子啊，你要面向亚扪人，说预言斥责他们， 3告诉他们要听主耶和华的话。主耶和华说，‘当我的圣所被亵渎，以色列变得荒凉，犹大人被掳的时候，你们竟然哈哈而乐。 4所以我要把你们交给东方人作产业。他们必在你们的土地上安营扎寨，吃你们出产的果子，喝你们牛羊的奶。 5我要使拉巴成为骆驼的草场，使亚扪人的土地变成羊群歇息之处，这样你们便知道我是耶和华。’
6“主耶和华说，‘你们看到以色列的灾祸，便幸灾乐祸，手舞足蹈。 7因此，我要伸手攻击你们，使你们成为各国的俘虏。我必从万民中铲除你们，从万国中消灭你们，使你们灭绝。这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。’
斥责摩押
8“主耶和华说，‘摩押和西珥嘲笑犹大与其他各国没有两样。 9所以我要攻陷摩押边界的城邑，就是那地方引以为荣的伯·耶施末、巴力·免和基列亭。 10我要将它和亚扪人一起交给东方人作产业，使亚扪人从此被列国遗忘。 11我必审判摩押人，这样他们就知道我是耶和华。’
斥责以东
12“主耶和华说，‘因为以东报复犹大，犯了大罪。 13所以，主耶和华说：我要伸手攻击以东，铲除那里的人和牲畜，使地荒废，从提幔直到底但的以东人要倒在刀下。 14我要借我以色列子民的手向以东报仇。以色列人会照我的义愤和烈怒惩罚他们。那时，他们就知道是我报应他们，这是主耶和华说的。’
斥责非利士
15“主耶和华说，‘非利士人心存仇恨，为了报世仇要毁灭犹大， 16所以主耶和华说：我必伸手攻击他们，铲除基利提人，毁灭沿海残余的人。 17我要重重地报应他们，发烈怒惩罚他们。我报应他们的时候，他们就知道我是耶和华。’”
