Ezek 25
1
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2
'Son of man, set thy face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them;
3
and say unto the children of Ammon: 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 made desolate, and against the house of Judah,
when they went into captivity;
4
therefore, behold, I will deliver thee to the children of the east for a possession,
and they shall set their encampments in thee, and make their dwellings in thee; they
shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
5
And I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching-place
for flocks; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
6
For thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with
the feet, and rejoiced with all the disdain of thy soul against the land of Israel;
7
therefore, behold, I stretch out My hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil
to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the peoples, and I will cause thee to
perish out of the countries; I will destroy thee, and thou shalt know that I am the
LORD.
8
Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because that Moab and Seir do say: Behold, the house of Judah
is like unto all the nations,
9
therefore, behold, I will open the flank of Moab on the side of the cities, on the
side of his cities which are on his frontiers, the beauteous country of Beth-jeshimoth,
Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,
10
together with the children of Ammon, unto the children of the east, and I will give
them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the
nations;
11
and I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
12
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;
13
therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: I will stretch out My hand upon Edom, and will
cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman, even unto Dedan
shall they fall by the sword.
14
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.
15
Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken
vengeance with disdain of soul to destroy, for the old hatred;
16
therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will stretch out My hand upon the Philistines,
and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea-coast.
17
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.'
