Ezekiel 25
- 1The word of the Lord came again to me, saying,
- 2Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them.
- 3And say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God. The Lord God says this. Because you said, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was dishonored. And against the land of Israel, when it was ruined. And against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity.
- 4Therefore I will deliver you to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in you, and make their homes in you: they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.
- 5And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
- 6For the Lord God says this. Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all your despite against the land of Israel.
- 7Therefore I will stretch out my hand on you, and will deliver you to be plundered to the nations. And I will cut you off from the people, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
- 8The Lord God says this. Because Moab and Seir do say, the house of Judah is like to all the nations.
- 9Therefore, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,
- 10To the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.
- 11And I will execute judgments on Moab. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
- 12The Lord God says this. Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and revenged himself on them.
- 13Therefore the Lord God says this. I will also stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it. And I will make it a ruin from Teman. And they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
- 14And I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my fury. And they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord God.
- 15The Lord God says this. Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a spiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred.
- 16Therefore the Lord God says this. I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the seacoast.
- 17And I will execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.
