| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"Son of man, set your face toward the sons of Ammon and prophesy against them, |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3and say to the sons of Ammon, 'Hear the word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD, "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 exile, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4therefore, behold, I am going to give you to the sons of the east for a possession, and they will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk. |
