Proclamation against Ammon
Proclamation against Moab
8 “Thus says the Lord God: Because Moab[b] said, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the other nations, 9 therefore I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities[c] on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth-jesh′imoth, Ba′al-me′on, and Kiriatha′im. 10 I will give it along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, that it[d] may be remembered no more among the nations, 11 and I will execute judgments upon Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
Proclamation against Edom
12 “Thus says the Lord God: Because Edom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended in taking vengeance upon them, 13 therefore thus says the Lord God, I will stretch out my hand against Edom, and cut off from it man and beast; and I will make it desolate; from Teman even to Dedan they 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 my anger and according to my wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord God.
Proclamation against Philistia
15 “Thus says the Lord God: Because the Philistines acted revengefully and took vengeance with malice of heart to destroy in never-ending enmity; 16 therefore thus says the Lord God, Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cher′ethites, and destroy the rest of the seacoast. 17 I will execute great vengeance upon them with wrathful chastisements. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon them.”
