Ezekiel 25

The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

“Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;

“And say unto the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; “Because thou saidst, ‘Aha,’ against My sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;

“‘“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.

“‘“And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.”

“‘For thus saith the Lord GOD; “Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;

“‘“Behold, therefore I will stretch out Mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil [Or, meat] to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.”

“‘Thus saith the Lord GOD; “Because that Moab and Seir do say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen’;

“‘“Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,

“‘“Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites [Or, against the children of Ammon], and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.

“‘“And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.”

“‘Thus saith the Lord GOD; “Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them”;

“‘Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; “I will also stretch out Mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

“‘“And I will lay My vengeance upon Edom by the hand of My people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to Mine anger and according to My fury; and they shall know My vengeance,” saith the Lord GOD.

“‘Thus saith the Lord GOD; “Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred”;

“‘Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; “Behold, I will stretch out Mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

“‘“And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay My vengeance upon them.” ’ ” (Ezekiel 25: 1-17)
