therefore behold, I am handing you over to 7the people of the East for a possession, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings in your midst. They shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.
5
I will make 8Rabbah a 9pasture for camels and Ammona10a fold for flocks. 11Then you will know that I am the LORD.
6
For thus says the Lord GOD: Because 12you have clapped your hands 13and stamped your feet and 14rejoiced with all the 15malice within your soul against the land of Israel,
7
therefore, behold, 16I have stretched out my hand against you, and 17will hand you over as plunder to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples and will make you perish out of the countries; I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
