The LORD’s word came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them. See also: Jeremiah 49:1-6 Amos 1:13-15 Ezekiel 6:2Tell the children of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD says, “Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against my sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity, See also: Ezekiel 36:2 Psalms 70:2-3 Proverbs 17:5therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession. They will set their encampments in you and make their dwellings in you. They will eat your fruit and they will drink your milk. See also: Deuteronomy 28:33 Judges 6:33 1 Kings 4:30I will make Rabbah a stable for camels and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am the LORD.” See also: Ezekiel 21:20 2 Samuel 12:26 Isaiah 17:2For the Lord GOD says: “Because you have clapped your hands, stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the contempt of your soul against the land of Israel, See also: Zephaniah 2:8 Obadiah 1:12 Zephaniah 2:10therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries. I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.” See also: Zephaniah 1:4 Ezekiel 25:13 Ezekiel 6:14“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’ See also: Jeremiah 48:1-47 Isaiah 15:1-9 Jeremiah 25:21therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on its frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim, See also: Joshua 13:17 Jeremiah 48:23 Numbers 32:37-38to the children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations. See also: Ezekiel 21:32 Isaiah 23:16 Ezekiel 25:4I will execute judgments on Moab. Then they will know that I am the LORD.” See also: Ezekiel 35:15 Ezekiel 39:21 Psalms 9:16“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and taken revenge on them,” See also: Jeremiah 49:7-22 Psalms 137:7 Ezekiel 25:8therefore the Lord GOD says, “I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman. They will fall by the sword even to Dedan. See also: Malachi 1:3-4 Ezekiel 29:8 Jeremiah 25:23I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel. They will do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath. Then they will know my vengeance,” says the Lord GOD. See also: Isaiah 11:14 Genesis 27:29 Nahum 1:2-4“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because the Philistines have taken revenge, and have taken vengeance with contempt of soul to destroy with perpetual hostility,” See also: Ezekiel 25:6 Isaiah 14:29-31 Zechariah 9:5-8therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. See also: 1 Samuel 30:14 Zephaniah 2:4-15 Ezekiel 25:13I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance on them.”’” See also: Ezekiel 25:14 Ezekiel 25:11 Ezekiel 5:15

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.

These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
