The days are coming, proclaims Jehovah, when I will punish all who are circumcised [only in the flesh]. Yet they are not circumcised [in the heart]. I will punish Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, and Moab. I will punish all who shave the hair on their foreheads or live in the desert. Even though all these nations are uncircumcised, all Israel has uncircumcised hearts.
This is what Jehovah the God of Israel said to me: 'Take from my hand this cup filled with the wine of my fury, and make all the nations to whom I am sending you drink from it.

Give them an order for their masters: This is what Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Say this to your masters, I used my great strength and my powerful arm to make the earth along with the people and the animals on it. I give it to anyone I please. Now I have handed all these countries over to my servant King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I have even made wild animals serve him. All nations will serve him, his son, and his grandson until Babylon is defeated. Then many nations and great kings will make him their slave. Suppose nations or kingdoms will not serve or surrender to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I will punish those nations by wars, famines, and plagues, until I have put an end to them by Nebuchadnezzar's power, says Jehovah. Do not listen to prophets, mediums, and interpreters of dreams, fortunetellers, or sorcerers who tell you, 'You will never serve the king of Babylon.' They prophesy lies to you. They will cause you to be taken far from your lands. I will scatter you, and you will die. If a nation surrender to the king of Babylon and serve him I will let it stay in its own land. People will farm the land and live on it, says Jehovah.'

This is what Jehovah says about the people of [AMMON]: Does Israel not have any children? Does it not have any heirs? Why has the god Milcom taken over the inheritance of Gad's descendants? Why do Milcom's people live in Gad's cities? That is why the days are coming,' declares Jehovah, 'when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah, where the people of Ammon live. It will become a pile of rubble. Its villages will be burned down.' 'Then Israel will take possession of its inheritance,' says Jehovah. Cry loudly, Heshbon, because Ai is destroyed. Cry, people of Rabbah, put on your sackcloth, and mourn. Run back and forth between the walls. Milcom will be taken away into captivity with its priests and officials. read more.

Mark the road that the king and his sword can take to the Ammonite city of Rabbah. Then mark the road that leads to Judah and the fortified city of Jerusalem.
O son of man, prophesy. Announce what I, the Lord Jehovah, am saying to the Ammonites, who are insulting Israel. Say to them: A sword is ready to destroy. It is polished to kill and to flash like lightning. The visions that you see are false. The predictions you make are lies. You are wicked and evil. Your day is coming, the day of your final punishment. The sword is going to fall on your necks. Put up the sword (return it to its sheath)! I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land where you were born. read more.
You will feel my anger when I turn it loose on you like a blazing fire. And I will hand you over to brutal men, experts at destruction. You will be destroyed by fire. Your blood will be shed in your own country. No one will remember you any more. Jehovah has spoken!'

Jehovah continued to speak his word to me: Son of man set your face (give attention) toward the Ammonites and prophesy against them. Tell the Ammonites: 'Hear the word of the Lord Jehovah! The Lord Jehovah says: Because you said, Aha! Against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into exile, read more.
I am going to give you to the sons of the east for a possession. They will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk. I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and the Ammonites a resting place for flocks. So you will know that I am Jehovah.' The Lord Jehovah says: 'Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet and rejoiced in your scorn against the land of Israel, I have stretched out my hand against you and I will give you for spoil to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands. I will destroy you. Therefore, you will know that I am Jehovah.' The Lord Jehovah says: 'Because Moab and Seir say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations, therefore, I am going to deprive the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities which are on its frontiers, the glory of the land, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and Kiriathaim, and I will give it for a possession along with the Ammonites to the sons of the east, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations. Thus I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am Jehovah.'

He will also invade the glorious land, and many countries will be overthrown. These will be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Jehovah also said: For the many transgressions of the children of Ammon I will not withdraw the punishment. They have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border. I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah and devour its palaces. The battle cry in the day of battle will be heard and a storm in the day of the windstorm. Their king and his princes will go into captivity, said Jehovah.
I have heard the reproach of Moab and the taunting by the children of Ammon. They have reproached my people. They behave arrogantly at the border. Just as I live, said Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, Moab will be like Sodom, and the children of Ammon like Gomorrah. They will be possessions of nettles and salt pits. They will be deserted forever! My people will plunder them and the remnant of my nation will take possession of their land. They will have this instead of their pride. This is because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of Hosts. read more.
Jehovah will fill them with fear for he will starve (emaciate) all the gods of the earth! Men will worship him, each one from his place, even the coastlands of the nations.
