Ezekiel 21:28-32
Holman Christian Standard Bible
28 “Now prophesy, son of man, and say: This is what the Lord God says concerning the Ammonites and their contempt. You are to proclaim:
A sword! A sword
is drawn for slaughter,
polished to consume,(A) to flash like lightning.
29 While they offer false visions(B)
and lying divinations about you,
the time has come to put you
to the necks of the profane wicked ones;
the day has come
for your punishment.[a]
30 Return it to its sheath!(C)
I will judge you[b]
in the place where you were created,
in the land of your origin.
31 I will pour out My indignation on you;
I will blow the fire of My fury on you.(D)
I will hand you over to brutal men,
skilled at destruction.
32 You will be fuel for the fire.
Your blood will be spilled in the land.
You will not be remembered,(E)
for I, Yahweh, have spoken.”

Ezekiel 25:2-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 “Son of man, turn your face toward the Ammonites and prophesy against them.(A) 3 Say to the Ammonites: Hear the word of the Lord God: This is what the Lord God says: Because you said, ‘Good!’(B) about My sanctuary when it was desecrated, about the land of Israel when it was laid waste, and about the house of Judah when they went into exile, 4 therefore I am about to give you to the people of the east as a possession. They will set up their encampments and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk. 5 I will make Rabbah a pasture(C) for camels and Ammon a sheepfold. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”
6 For this is what the Lord God says: “Because you clapped your hands,(D) stamped your feet, and rejoiced over the land of Israel with wholehearted contempt, 7 therefore I am about to stretch out My hand against you(E) and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and eliminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.”
Judgment against Moab
8 This is what the Lord God says: “Because Moab and Seir said,(F) ‘Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations,’ 9 therefore I am about to expose Moab’s flank beginning with its[a] frontier cities, the pride of the land: Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon,(G) and Kiriathaim. 10 I will give it along with Ammon to the people of the east as a possession, so that Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.

Amos 1:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 The Lord says:
I will not relent from punishing the Ammonites(A)
for three crimes, even four,
because they ripped open
the pregnant women of Gilead(B)
in order to enlarge their territory.(C)
14 Therefore, I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah,(D)
and it will consume its citadels.
There will be shouting on the day of battle(E)
and a violent wind on the day of the storm.(F)
15 Their king and his princes
will go into exile together.(G)
The Lord has spoken.
