Ezekiel 25

¹Ezekiel 25:1. Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,²Ezekiel 25:2. “Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them.³Ezekiel 25:3. Tell the Ammonites to hear the word of the Lord GOD, for this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you exclaimed, “Aha!” when My sanctuary was profaned, when the land of Israel was laid waste, and when the house of Judah went into exile,⁴Ezekiel 25:4. therefore I will indeed give you as a possession to the people of the East. They will set up their camps and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.⁵Ezekiel 25:5. I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels, and Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’⁶Ezekiel 25:6. For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you clapped your hands and stomped your feet and rejoiced over the land of Israel with a heart full of contempt,⁷Ezekiel 25:7. therefore I will indeed stretch out My hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD.’

⁸Ezekiel 25:8. This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Moab and Seir said, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations,”⁹Ezekiel 25:9. therefore I will indeed expose the flank of Moab beginning with its frontier cities—Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim—the glory of the land.¹⁰Ezekiel 25:10. I will give it along with the Ammonites as a possession to the people of the East, so that the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations.¹¹Ezekiel 25:11. So I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD.’

¹²Ezekiel 25:12. This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah, and in so doing incurred grievous guilt,¹³Ezekiel 25:13. therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off from it both man and beast. I will make it a wasteland, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword.¹⁴Ezekiel 25:14. I will take My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, and they will deal with Edom according to My anger and wrath. Then they will know My vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.’

¹⁵Ezekiel 25:15. This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because the Philistines acted in vengeance, taking vengeance with malice of soul to destroy Judah with ancient hostility,¹⁶Ezekiel 25:16. therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant along the coast.¹⁷Ezekiel 25:17. I will execute great vengeance against them with furious reproof. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay My vengeance upon them.’”
