Ezekiel 25
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.
