一条路通往亚扪的拉巴城，一条路通往犹大的坚城耶路撒冷。

“人子啊，你要说预言，告诉他们，耶和华这样说，“‘有一把刀，有一把刀磨快擦亮了，磨得锋利，为要杀戮，擦得亮如闪电。我们岂能因我儿的权杖而快乐？这刀鄙视一切权杖。

以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说：“我听见了摩押人的毁谤和亚扪人的辱骂。他们毁谤我的子民，扬言侵占他们的土地。我凭自己的永恒起誓，摩押和亚扪必刺草丛生、盐坑遍地、永远荒废，如所多玛和蛾摩拉一样。我余下的子民必掳掠他们，我幸存的百姓必承受他们的土地。”

“人子啊，你要面向亚扪人，说预言斥责他们，告诉他们要听主耶和华的话。主耶和华说，‘当我的圣所被亵渎，以色列变得荒凉，犹大人被掳的时候，你们竟然哈哈而乐。所以我要使东方人侵占你们的地方。他们必在你们的土地上安营扎寨，吃你们出产的果子，喝你们牛羊的奶。我要使拉巴成为骆驼的草场，使亚扪人的土地变成羊群歇息之处，这样你们便知道我是耶和华。“主耶和华说，‘你们看到以色列的灾祸，便幸灾乐祸，手舞足蹈。因此，我要伸手攻击你们，使你们成为各国的俘虏。我必从万民中铲除你们，从万国中消灭你们，使你们灭绝。这样，你们就知道我是耶和华。’

论到亚扪人，耶和华说：“难道以色列没有子孙，没有继承人吗？为什么祭拜米勒公的人占据了迦得，住在城邑中？”耶和华说：“看啊，时候将到，我要使亚扪人的拉巴城外响起战争的呐喊。拉巴必沦为废墟，它周围的乡村都要被焚烧，以色列人必收复失地。这是耶和华说的。“希实本啊，哀哭吧！因为艾城毁灭了。拉巴的居民啊，痛哭吧！披上麻衣悲伤地在城墙内跑来跑去吧！因为米勒公及其祭司和官长都要被掳走。背叛的人民啊，你们为肥沃的山谷而感到自豪吗？你们依仗财富以为无人敢来侵犯。”上帝——万军之耶和华说：“看啊，我要使你们四面受敌，惊恐万状，四散奔逃，溃不成军。

耶和华说：“亚扪人三番四次地犯罪，我必不收回对他们的惩罚，因为他们为了扩张领土，竟剖开基列孕妇的肚腹。所以，我要在战争的吶喊声中，在暴风雨吹袭的时候，降火在拉巴的城墙上，烧毁它的城堡。他们的君王和首领都要被掳。这是耶和华说的。”

杀戮者已来到旷野中光秃的山岭，耶和华使刀剑横扫全境，无人幸免。
