Ezekiel 25

1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them.

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,

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.

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.’

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,

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.’

8 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Moab and Seir said, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations,”

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.

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.

11 So I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD.’

12 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah, and in so doing incurred grievous guilt,

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.

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.’

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,

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.

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.’”

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

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

3 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;

4 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.

5 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.

6 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;

7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil 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.

8 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah [is] like unto all the heathen;

9 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, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,

10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites 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 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.

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 a despiteful heart, to destroy [it] for the old hatred;

16 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.

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.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

2 Son of man, set thy face against the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them.

3 And say unto the children of Ammon, Hear ye the word of the LORD GOD. Thus saith the LORD GOD; Because ye have said of my sanctuary, It is polluted; and of the land of Israel, It is desolate; and of the house of Judah, It is carried away captive.

4 Therefore, behold, I will give thee to the children toward the east, and they shall build their castles within, and make their habitation therein: they shall eat thy fruit, and drink thy milk.

5 And I will make Rabbath a sheepfold for camels, and the children of Ammon a fold for sheep: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and shaved thy feet, and rejoiced in the land of Israel with all thine heart,

7 Therefore, behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will give thee for a prey unto the heathen, and will cut thee off from among the nations, and will destroy thee out of the countries; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

8 Thus saith the LORD GOD; Because Moab and Seir say, Behold, the house of Judah is even as all the nations,

9 Behold, I will open Moab aside in his cities, and in his borders of the noble land, even Beth- jesimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,

10 To the children of the east with the children of Ammon; and I will give them for an inheritance, and the children of Ammon shall no more be remembered among the heathen.

11 And I will execute judgment upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

12 Thus saith the LORD GOD; Because Edom hath avenged herself on the house of Judah, and hath been guilty of her revenge,

13 Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD: I will stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off from it both man and beast; and I will make it desolate from Theman even unto Dedan, and will cut it down by the sword.

14 And I will avenge myself on Edom by my people Israel, and they shall deal with Edom according to mine anger and my fury, and they shall know my vengeance, saith the LORD GOD.

15 Thus saith the LORD GOD; Because the Philistines have avenged themselves, and have atoned for the old hatred according to all their will in the hurt of my people,

16 Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and will cut off the warriors, and will destroy the remnant that are by the sea port.

17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them, and will punish them with fury; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have executed my vengeance upon them.
