1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them; 3 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity; 4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk. 5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel; 7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
8 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen; 9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, 10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations. 11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
12 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. 14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
15 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred; 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. 17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

Ommon xalqi haqida bashorat
1 Egamiz menga Oʻz soʻzini ayon qildi: 2 “Ey inson, Ommon xalqiga yuzlan, ularga qarshi bashorat qil. 3 Ommon xalqiga ayt: «Egamiz Rabbiyning soʻzlarini eshiting! Egamiz Rabbiy shunday demoqda: muqaddas maskanim harom qilinganda, Isroil yurti xarob boʻlganda, Yahudo xalqi surgun qilinganda, sizlar: ‘Aha!’ deya xursand boʻlgan edingizlar. 4 Shuning uchun Men sizlarni sharqdagi koʻchmanchilar qoʻliga topshiraman. Ular yurtingizda qarorgohlar qurib, chodirlarini tikadilar, hosilingizni yeb, sutingizni ichadilar. 5 Men poytaxtingiz Rabbani tuyalar uchun dashtga aylantiraman. Butun yurtingizni qoʻylar uchun qoʻra qilaman. Oʻshanda Egangiz Men ekanligimni bilib olasizlar.
6 Egamiz Rabbiy shunday deb aytmoqda: sizlar yuragingizdagi butun gʻaraz bilan Isroilning baxtsizligidan sevindingizlar, chapak chalib, sakrab oʻynadingizlar. 7 Shu qilganingiz uchun Men qoʻlimni sizlarga qarshi koʻtaraman. Sizlarni boshqa xalqlarga oʻlja qilib beraman. Xalqlar orasidan sizlarni yoʻq qilib, yurtingizni yer yuzidan supurib tashlayman. Oʻshanda Egangiz Men ekanligimni bilib olasizlar.»”
Moʻab xalqi haqida bashorat
8 Egamiz Rabbiy shunday demoqda: “Moʻab xalqi : «Yahudo xalqining boshqa xalqlardan hech qanday farqi yoʻq», deb aytgani uchun, 9 Men Moʻabning gʻarbiy qanotini ochib tashlayman, yurtning gavharlari Bayt–Yashimoʻt, Baal–Miyon, Xiratayim shaharlarini vayron qilaman. 10 Moʻabni Ommon xalqi singari, sharqdagi koʻchmanchilarning qoʻliga beraman. Ommon xalqi yer yuzidan yoʻq boʻlib ketadi, 11 Men Moʻab xalqini ham jazolayman. Shunda ular Egasi Men ekanligimni bilib oladilar.”
Edom xalqi haqida bashorat
12 Egamiz Rabbiy shunday demoqda: “Edom xalqi Yahudodan oʻch olib, katta gunoh qildi. 13 Shu sababdan Men ularga qarshi qoʻlimni koʻtarib, Edom yurtini vayron qilaman, — deb aytmoqda Egamiz Rabbiy. — Odamu hayvonlarini qirib tashlayman. Temon shahridan tortib, to Dedon shahrigacha boʻlgan hammani qilichdan oʻtkazaman. 14 Xalqim Isroil orqali Edomdan qasos olaman. Ular orqali qahru gʻazabimni Edomliklar ustiga sochaman. Shunda Edom xalqi qasosim nima ekanligini bilib oladi.” Egamiz Rabbiyning kalomi shudir.
Filistlar haqida bashorat
15 Egamiz Rabbiy shunday demoqda: “Asrlar davomida Filistlar adovat qilib, xalqimdan oʻch oldilar. Xalqimni xonavayron qilish maqsadida, yuraklaridagi gʻarazga berilib, ulardan qasos oldilar. 16 Shu sababdan Men Filist yurtiga qarshi qoʻlimni koʻtaraman, Xaret xalqini yoʻq qilaman, sohilda qolganlarning hammasini qirib yuboraman, — deb aytmoqda Egamiz Rabbiy. 17 — Men ulardan dahshatli qasos olaman, gʻazabim ustida ularni jazolayman. Oʻshanda Egasi Men ekanligimni bilib oladilar.”
