A prophecy about the people of Ammon

25 Some time later, Yahweh gave me another message. He said, 2 “You human, turn toward where the Ammon people-grouplives, and prophesy aboutwhat will happen to them. 3 Say about them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “You shouted joyfully when my templein Jerusalem was destroyed, and when the country/land of Israel was ruined, and when the people of Judah were ◄exiled/forced to go► to Babylonia. 4 Therefore, I am going to allow you to be conquered by people who will come from the east. They will set up their tents in your country and live there. And they will eat the fruit from yourfruit trees and drink the milkfrom your cattle. 5 I will causeyour capital city Rabbah to become a pasture for camels, and the rest of Ammon to becomeonly a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have the power to do what I say that I will do.” 6 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “You clapped your handsjoyfully and stomped your feet, and laughed because you despised the people in the land of Israel. 7 Therefore, I will use my power [MTY] against you, and I will enable other nations toconquer you and take away your valuable possessions. I will destroy you completely [DOU], with the result that you no longer will be a nation. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, have the power to do what I say that I will do.’ ”
