“Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.”
Because of their gloating, Ammon will be given to the people of the east as a possession, and their cities will be demolished and their land destroyed. The judgment matches the crime: those who rejoiced at Israel's loss will themselves experience depossession and devastation, executing poetic justice. This reversal of fortune illustrates the principle that God vindicates His people and neutralizes those who oppose them, using military conquest as the instrument of divine judgment.
