1 The Lord God said:
2 Ezekiel, son of man, condemn the people of Ammon
3 and tell them:You celebrated when my temple was destroyed, when Israel was defeated, and when my people were taken away as prisoners.
4 Now I am going to let you be conquered by tribes from the eastern desert. They will set up their camps in your land and eat your fruit and drink your milk.
5 Your capital city of Rabbah will be nothing but pasture land for camels, and the rest of the country will be pastures for sheep. Then you will know that I am the Lord God.
6 You hated Israel so much that you clapped and shouted and celebrated.
7 And so I will hand you over to enemies who will rob you. I will completely destroy you. There won't be enough of your people left to be a nation ever again, and you will know that I, the Lord, have done these things.
