Tell the Ammonites: ‘Listen to a message from[a] the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says: “Because you have said, ‘Aha!’[b] about my sanctuary when it was desecrated, about the land of Israel when it became desolate, and about the households of Judah when they went into exile, therefore you’d better look out! I’m going to turn you over to men[c] from the East, who will dominate you. You will become their property. They will set up military encampments and permanent places[d] in which to live among you, and then they’ll eat your fruit and drink your milk. I will turn Rabbah[e] into a pasture for camels, and Ammon will become a resting place for flocks of sheep. That’s how they’ll learn that I am the Lord.”’”
