Herrens ord kom til meg: «Esekiel, snu ansiktet mot Ammons etterkommere og profeter til dem og si: ‘Du lo mot Min helligdom og var respektløs da den ble utsatt for angrep på det hellige sted. Israel var øde, og Judas slekt ble ført inn i fangenskap. Derfor skal Jeg overgi deg til Østens sønner, så de kan ta deg i eie. De skal sette opp sine leirer hos deg og slå seg ned hos deg. De skal spise din frukt og drikke din melk. Jeg skal gjøre Rabba til en beitemarkfor Ammons slekts kameler og til et hvilested for sauer og geiter. Da skal dere kjenne at Jeg er Herren.’
