“ And you, son of man, prophesy and say,‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says about the Ammonites and their insults:“‘ A sword, a sword, drawn for the slaughter, polished to consume and to flash like lightning!

“ Son of man, prophesy. Say,‘ The Lord and King speaks about the Ammonites. He also talks about the way they laugh because of Jerusalem’s fall. He says,“‘ “A sword! A sword! Nebuchadnezzar’s sword is ready to kill you. It is shined to destroy you. It flashes like lightning.

“ And now, son of man, prophesy concerning the Ammonites and their mockery. Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord:“ A sword, a sword is drawn for your slaughter. It is polished to destroy, flashing like lightning!

“ Now you, son of man, prophesy, and say,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says concerning the Ammonites and their contempt.’ You are to proclaim,‘ A sword! A sword is drawn for slaughter, polished to consume, to flash like lightning.

你要劃定一條路，使刀來到亞捫人的拉巴，來到猶大，在堅固城耶路撒冷。

「人子啊，你要預言說，耶和華如此吩咐，你要說：有刀，刀已磨快，又擦亮了；磨快為要大大殺戮，擦亮為要像閃電。我們豈能快樂呢？它藐視我兒的權杖和一切的木頭。

我聽見摩押毀謗，亞捫人辱罵；他們辱罵我的百姓，自誇自大，侵犯他們的疆土。」萬軍之耶和華－以色列的神說：因此，我指着我的永生起誓：摩押必如所多瑪，亞捫人必像蛾摩拉，都變為刺草、鹽坑、永遠荒廢之地。我百姓中剩餘的必擄掠他們，我國中的倖存者必得他們的地。這事臨到他們是因他們的驕傲，他們自誇自大，辱罵萬軍之耶和華的百姓。

「人子啊，你要面向亞捫人說預言，攻擊他們。你要對亞捫人說，當聽主耶和華的話。主耶和華如此說：我的聖所遭褻瀆，以色列地變荒涼，猶大家被擄掠；那時，你因這些事說『啊哈』，所以，看哪，我要把你交給東方人為業；他們必在你中間安營居住，設立居所，吃你的果子，喝你的奶。我必使拉巴成為牧放駱駝之地，使亞捫成為羊羣躺臥之處，你們就知道我是耶和華。主耶和華如此說：因你們拍手頓足，幸災樂禍，藐視以色列地，所以，看哪，我要伸手攻擊你，把你交給列國作為擄物。我必從萬民中剪除你，從列邦中消滅你。我必除滅你，你就知道我是耶和華。」

論亞捫人。耶和華如此說：以色列沒有兒子嗎？沒有後嗣嗎？米勒公為何承受迦得為業呢？屬它的百姓為何住其中的城鎮呢？看哪，日子將到，我必使人聽見打仗的喊聲，攻擊亞捫人所住的拉巴的喊聲。拉巴要成為廢墟，屬它的鄉鎮要被火焚燒。這是耶和華說的。先前承受以色列為業的，此時以色列倒要承受他們為業。這是耶和華說的。希實本哪，要哀號，因為愛地已成荒地。拉巴的鄉鎮哪，要呼喊，以麻布束腰；要哭號，在籬笆中往來奔跑；因米勒公和它的祭司、官長要一同被擄去。背道的民哪，你為何因有山谷，因有水流的山谷誇耀呢？為何倚靠自己的財寶，說：「誰能來到我們這裏呢？」萬軍之主耶和華說：看哪，我要使驚嚇從四圍的鄰邦臨到你們；你們必被趕出，各人一直往前，無人收容難民。

耶和華如此說：「亞捫人三番四次犯罪，剖開基列的孕婦，擴張自己的疆界，我必不撤銷對它的懲罰。我要在戰爭吶喊的日子，在旋風狂吹時，在拉巴城內放火，吞滅它的宮殿；他們的君王和官長必一同被擄。」這是耶和華說的。

滅命的來到曠野中一切光禿的高地；耶和華的刀從地這邊直到地那邊，盡行殺滅，凡血肉之軀都不得平安。
