1And the word of LORD JEHOVAH was upon me, saying:
2‘Son of man, set your face against the children of Amon, and prophesy upon them
3And say to the children of Amon: “Hear the word of THE LORD OF LORDS. Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “Because you have said, ‘Aha!’ to my holy place that is defiled, and to the land of Israel that is devastated, and to those of the house of Yehuda that went into captivity
4Because of this, behold, I give you to the sons of the East for an inheritance, and their army shall dwell in you, and they shall pitch their tents in you. They shall eat your fruit and they shall drink your milk
5And I shall give Rabbath for a stable of camels, and the children of Amon for a fold of sheep, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH
6Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “Because you clapped with your hands and you stamped with your feet and you rejoiced in your soul against the land of Israel
7Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: ‘Behold, I lift up I my hand upon you and I shall give you as prey to the nations, and I shall consume you from the nations, and I shall destroy you from the cities, and I shall make you desolate, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH’” 8Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS concerning what Moab and Seir said: “Behold the house of Yehuda among all the nations!” 9For behold, I wrench loose the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from his cities, and from the glory of the land around it of the house of Ashimon, and of Baalmon, and of Qurithim 10To those of the children of the East and those of the children of Amon I shall give it for an inheritance, that Rabbath of the children of Amon will not be remembered among the nations 11And in Moab I shall execute judgment, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH 12Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS about what Edum did, the retribution of the house of Yehuda, and bore ill will and were jealous of them 13Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “Behold, I lift up my hands over Edum, and I destroy from it the children of men and beasts, and I shall make it a wilderness from Tayman and Daran, and it shall fall by the sword 14And I shall perform vengeance on Edum by my people Israel, and they shall be avenged of Edum, according to my anger and according to my wrath, and they shall know my vengeance, says THE LORD OF LORDS 15Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “Because the Philistines have exacted vengeance and are avenged in the desire of their souls, that they would destroy an age old friendship” 16Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “Behold, I lift up my hands against the Philistines and I destroy Crete, and I destroy the rest of the coasts of the sea 17And I shall exact my great vengeance from them in rebuke and in anger, and they shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH, when I have exacted my vengeance from them The Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Translated by Glenn David Bauscher Glenn David Bauscher Lulu Publishing Copyright © 2018 Lulu Publishing 3rd edition Copyright © 2019 |
