28 “And you, ^ason of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God ^bconcerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach; say, ^cA sword, a sword ^dis drawn for the slaughter. ^eIt is polished to consume and to flash like lightning— 29 while ^fthey see for you false visions, while they divine lies for you—to place you on the necks of the profane wicked, ^gwhose day has come, the time of their final punishment. 30 ^hReturn it to its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, ⁱI will judge you. 31 And ^jI will pour out my indignation upon you; ^kI will blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver you into the hands of ^lbrutish men, skillful to destroy. 32 You shall be fuel for the fire. Your blood shall be in the midst of the land. ^mYou shall be no more remembered, ⁿfor I the Lord have spoken.”

Ezekiel 25:2-10

2 ^o“Son of man, ^pset your face toward ^qthe Ammonites and prophesy against them. 3 Say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God: ^rThus says the Lord God, Because you said, ^s‘Aha!’ over my ^tsanctuary when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and over the house of Judah when they went into exile, 4 therefore behold, I am handing you over to ^uthe people of the East for a possession, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings in your midst. They shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. 5 I will make ^vRabbah a ^wpasture for camels and Ammon ^{▼▼Hebrew and the Ammonites} ^ya fold for flocks. ^zThen you will know that I am the Lord. 6 For thus says the Lord God: Because ^aayou have clapped your hands ^aband stamped your feet and ^acrejoiced with all the ^admalice within your soul against the land of Israel, 7 therefore, behold, ^aeI have stretched out my hand against you, and ^afwill hand you over as plunder to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples and will make you perish out of the countries; I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Prophecy Against Moab and Seir

8 “Thus says the Lord God: Because ^agMoab and ^ahSeir ^{▼▼Septuagint lacks and Seir} said, ‘Behold, the ^ajhouse of Judah is like all the other nations,’ 9 therefore ^akI will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities, from its cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, ^alBeth-jeshimoth, ^amBaal-meon, and ^anKiriathaim. 10 I will give it ^aoalong with the Ammonites ^apto the people of the East as a possession, ^aqthat the Ammonites may be remembered no more among the nations,

Amos 1:13-15

13 Thus says the Lord:

^ar“For three transgressions of the ^asAmmonites,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^atthey have ripped open pregnant women in ^auGilead,
that they might enlarge their border.
14 So I will kindle a fire in the wall of ^avRabbah,
^awand it shall devour her strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,
^axwith a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
15 and ^aytheir king shall go into exile,
he and his princes ^{▼▼Or officials} together,”

says the Lord.

Zephaniah 2:8-11

8 “I have heard ^bathe taunts of Moab
and ^bbthe revilings of the Ammonites,
how they have taunted my people
and made boasts ^bcagainst their territory.
9 Therefore, ^bdas I live,” declares the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel,
“Moab shall become ^belike Sodom,
and the Ammonites ^bflike Gomorrah,
a land possessed by nettles and salt pits,
and a waste forever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.”
10 This shall be their lot in return ^bgfor their pride,
because they taunted and boasted
against the people of the Lord of hosts.
11 The Lord will be awesome against them;
^bhfor he will famish all the gods of the earth,
and ^bito him shall bow down,
each in its place,
all ^bjthe lands of the nations.
