II.
ORACLES AGAINST THE NATIONS
Against the Ammonites
1
The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,
2
Son of man, turn towards the Ammonites and prophesy against them.
3
Say to the Ammonites, “Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh. The Lord Yahweh says this: You cried: Aha! over my sanctuary when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel when it was ravaged, and over the House of Judah when it went into exile,
4
and because of that I am going to hand you over to the sons of the East[*a]; they will pitch their camps inside your frontiers, they will settle there. They are going to eat your fruit, and drink your milk.
5
I intend to turn Rabbah into a camel yard and the towns of Ammon into sheepfolds. And so you will learn that I am Yahweh.
6
The Lord Yahweh says this: Since you have clapped your hands and danced for joy, inwardly full of malice against the land of Israel,
7
I mean to stretch out my hand against you for this; I will hand you over to be looted by the peoples, obliterate you as a nation, wipe you out as a country. I will reduce you to nothing, and so you will learn that I am Yahweh.
Against Moab
8
The Lord Yahweh says this: Since Moab and Seir[*b] have said: Look at the House of Judah; it is no different from any other nation;
9
very well, I will strip the hillsides of Moab bare and destroy her towns throughout the country, including her pride, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and Kiriath-aim.
10
I shall hand her over to the sons of the East, the enemies of the Ammonites; I shall hand her over so that the Ammonites will not even be remembered as a nation.
11
Thus shall I punish Moab, and everyone will learn that I am Yahweh.
Against Edom
12
The Lord Yahweh says this: Since Edom has taken revenge on the House of Judah and committed great crimes in doing so,
13
very well, the Lord Yahweh says this: I will stretch out my hand against Edom too and wipe out all the men and animals in the country. I shall reduce it to desert; people will be put to the sword from Teman to Dedan.
14
I shall unleash my revenge on Edom by means of my people Israel. They will treat Edom as my anger and fury dictate, and everyone will learn that this is my vengeance – it is the Lord Yahweh who speaks.
Against the Philistines
15
The Lord Yahweh says this: Since the Philistines have acted in revenge and taken revenge maliciously, and with persistent hatred have done their best to destroy,
16
very well, thus speaks the Lord Yahweh: I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines; I shall destroy the Cherethites[*c] and wipe out all the rest of the coastal peoples.
17
I shall perform frightful acts of vengeance and inflict furious punishments on them; and when I exact vengeance on them they will learn that I am Yahweh.”‘
