Give the Ammonites this message from the Sovereign Lord: Hear the word of the Sovereign Lord! Because you cheered when my Temple was defiled, mocked Israel in her desolation, and laughed at Judah as she went away into exile,

Say to the Ammonites,‘ Hear the word of the Lord GOD: This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you said,“ Aha!” about my sanctuary when it was desecrated, about the land of Israel when it was laid waste, and about the house of Judah when they went into exile,

The Lord and King says,“ Your enemies made fun of you. They bragged,‘ The hills you lived in for a long time belong to us now.’ ” ’

Anyone who laughs at those who are poor makes fun of their Maker. Anyone who is happy when others suffer will be punished.

Let those who are trying to kill me be put to shame. Let them not be honored. Let all those who want to destroy me be turned back in shame.Some people make fun of me. Let them be turned back when their plans fail.

Don’t be happy when your enemy falls. When he trips, don’t let your heart be glad.The Lord will see it, but he won’t be pleased. He might turn his anger away from your enemy.

The people of Jerusalem say,“ Don’t laugh when we suffer, you enemies of ours! We have fallen. But we’ll get up. Even though we sit in the dark, the Lord will give us light.

The Lord and King says,“ You clapped your hands. You stamped your feet. Deep down inside, you hated the land of Israel. You were glad because of what happened to it.

People of Edom, be joyful. You who live in the land of Uz, be glad. But the cup of the Lord’ s anger will also be passed to you. Then you will become drunk. Your clothes will be stripped off.

“ Young people and old people alike lie dead in the dust of my streets. My young men and women have been killed by swords. You killed them when you were angry. You put them to death without pity.“ You sent for terrors to come against me on every side. It was as if you were inviting people to enjoy a feast day. Because you were angry, no one escaped. No one was left alive. I took good care of my children and brought them up. But my enemies have destroyed them.”

The Lord and King says,“ Moab and Edom said,‘ Look! Judah has become like all the other nations.’

“ Son of man, Tyre laughed because of what happened to Jerusalem. The people of Tyre said,‘ Jerusalem is the gateway to the nations. But the gate is broken. Its doors have swung open to us. Jerusalem has been destroyed. So now we will succeed.’ ”The Lord and King says,“ But I am against you, Tyre. I will bring many nations against you. They will come in like the waves of the sea.They will destroy your walls. They will pull down your towers. I will clear away the stones of your broken- down buildings. I will turn you into nothing but a bare rock.Out in the Mediterranean Sea your island city will become a place to spread fishnets. I have spoken,” announces the Lord and King.“ The nations will take you and everything you have.Your settlements on the coast will be destroyed by war. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”The Lord and King says,“ From the north I am going to bring Nebuchadnezzar against Tyre. He is the king of Babylon. He is the greatest king of all. He will come with horses and chariots. Horsemen and a great army will be brought along with him.He will go to war against you. He will destroy your settlements on the coast. He will bring in war machines to attack you. A ramp will be built up to your walls. He will raise his shields against you.He will use huge logs to knock down your walls. He will destroy your towers with his weapons.He will have so many horses that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will shake because of the noise of his war horses, wagons and chariots. He will enter your gates, just as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through.The hooves of his horses will pound in your streets. His swords will kill your people. Your strong pillars will fall to the ground.His men will take away from you your wealth and anything else you have. They will pull down your walls. They will completely destroy your fine houses. They will throw the stones and lumber of your broken- down buildings into the sea.I will put an end to your noisy songs. No one will hear the music of your harps anymore.I will turn you into nothing but a bare rock. You will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt. I have spoken. I am the Lord,” announces the Lord and King.The Lord and King speaks to Tyre. He says,“ The lands along the coast will shake because of the sound of your fall. Wounded people will groan because so many are dying there.Then all the princes along the coast will step down from their thrones. They will put their robes away. They will take off their beautiful clothes. They will sit on the ground. They will put on terror as if it were their clothes. They will tremble with fear all the time. They will be shocked because of what has happened to you.Then they will sing a song of sadness about you. They will say to you,“‘ Famous city, you have been completely destroyed! You were filled with sea traders. You and your citizens were a mighty power on the seas. You terrified everyone who lived in you.The lands along the coast trembled with fear when you fell. The islands in the sea were terrified when you were destroyed.’ ”The Lord and King says to Tyre,“ I will turn you into an empty city. You will be like cities where no one lives anymore. I will cause the ocean to sweep over you. Its mighty waters will cover you.So I will bring you down together with those who go down into the grave. The people there lived long ago. You will have to live in the earth below. It will be like living in buildings that were destroyed many years ago. You will go down into the grave along with others. And you will never come back. You will not take your place in this world again.I will bring you to a horrible end. You will be gone forever. People will look for you. But they will never find you,” announces the Lord and King.

“‘ “You said,‘ The nations of Israel and Judah will belong to us. We will take them over.’ You said that, even though I was there. I am the Lord.You were full of anger, jealousy and hatred toward my people. So I will punish you. When I judge you, they will know that I am the Lord. And that is just as sure as I am alive,” announces the Lord and King.“ You will know that I have heard all the terrible things you said. You said them about those who live in the mountains of Israel. You made fun of them. You said,‘ They have been destroyed. They’ve been handed over to us. Let’s wipe them out.’You bragged that you were better than I am. You spoke against me. You did not hold anything back. But I heard it.” ’ ”The Lord and King says,“ The whole earth will be glad. But I will make your land empty.You were happy when the land of Israel became empty. So I will treat you in the same way. Mount Seir, you will be empty. So will the whole land of Edom. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
