1-7 Proclamation against Ammon
- Because you said “Aha!” when my sanctuary was profaned, Israel made desolate and Judah exiled, I will hand you over to the people of the east, who will take over your land
- Other nations will plunder you, and you will perish out of the nations.
- Then you shall know that I am the LORD.
8-11 Proclamation against Moab
- Because Moab said Judah was like all the other nations, I will give them to the people of the east, as I did Ammon.
- Ammon will be remembered no more, and I will execute judgments upon Moab.
- Then they shall know that I am the LORD.
12-14 Proclamation against Edom
- Because Edom took vengeance against Judah I will desolate it; it will fall by the sword.
- I will take vengeance by the hand of Israel. (Commentators believe this was fulfilled by Judas Maccabeus.)
- And they shall know my vengeance, says the LORD God. Not only that I am the LORD, as with the other nations, but my vengeance.
15-17 Proclamation against Philistia
- Because of their unending hostilities and malice of heart, I will punish the Philistines, Cherethites and the rest of the seacoast.
- Then they shall know that I am the LORD.
