25 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,2 “Son of man, set your face against the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them.3 And you will say to the sons of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh! Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because of your saying, “Aha!” against my sanctuary because it was profaned, and against the land of Israel because it was desolated, and against the house of Judah because they went into exile—4 therefore, behold, I am giving you to the sons of the east as a possession. And they will set their encampments in you, and they will put their dwellings in you. They, they will eat your fruit, and they, they will drink your milk.5 And I will give Rabbah as a pasture of camels and the sons of Ammon as a resting place of flocks. And you will know that I am Yahweh.

6 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because of your clapping the hand and your stamping with the foot, and you rejoiced with all of your contempt in the soul against the land of Israel—7 therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand against you, and I will give you as plunder to the nations.[fn] And I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will make you perish from the lands. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.’

8 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because of the saying of Moab and Seir, “Behold, the house of Judah is like all of the nations,”9 therefore, behold, I am opening the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from his cities, from his end, the splendor of the land: Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim,10 to the sons of the east along with the sons of Ammon. And I will give it as a possession, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.11 And against Moab I will do judgments, and they will know that I am Yahweh.’

12 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because of the doing of Edom in avenging vengeance against the house of Judah, and they became guilty, being guilty, and they took vengeance on them—13 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will stretch out my hand against Edom, and I will cut off from her man and beast. And I will make her a waste from Teman, and to Dedan they will fall by the sword.14 And I will put my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath. And they will know my vengeance’— the declaration of the Lord Yahweh.

15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Because of the doing of the Philistines in vengeance, and they avenged vengeance with contempt in the soul, for destruction, with everlasting hostility—16 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am stretching out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and I will make the remnant of the shore of the sea perish.17 And I will do great vengeances against them with rebukes of wrath. And they will know that I am Yahweh when I put my vengeance on them.’ ”

The written text has a rare word of uncertain meaning; the reading tradition has plunder.
