Ezekiel 25

Prophecy Against Ammon

1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 w "Son of man, x set your face toward y the Ammonites and prophesy against them. 3 Say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God: z Thus says the Lord God, Because you said, a 'Aha!' over my b sanctuary when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and over the house of Judah when they went into exile, 4 therefore behold, I am handing you over to c the people of the East for a possession, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings in your midst. They shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. 5 I will make d Rabbah a e pasture for camels and Ammon 1 e a fold for flocks. v Then you will know that I am the Lord. 6 For thus says the Lord God: Because f you have clapped your hands g and stamped your feet and h rejoiced with all the i malice within your soul against the land of Israel, 7 therefore, behold, j I have stretched out my hand against you, and k will hand you over as plunder to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples and will make you perish out of the countries; I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Prophecy Against Moab and Seir

8 "Thus says the Lord God: Because l Moab and m Seir 2 said, 'Behold, the n house of Judah is like all the other nations,' 9 therefore l I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities, from its cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, o Beth-jeshimoth, p Baal-meon, and q Kiriathaim. 10 I will give it r along with the Ammonites s to the people of the East as a possession, t that the Ammonites may be remembered no more among the nations, 11 l and I will execute judgments upon Moab. u Then they will know that I am the Lord.

Prophecy Against Edom

12 "Thus says the Lord God: Because v Edom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended w in taking vengeance on them, 13 therefore thus says the Lord God, x I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast. And I will make it desolate; from y Teman even to z Dedan they shall fall by the sword. 14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom a by the hand of my people Israel, and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath, and b they shall know my vengeance, declares the Lord God.

Prophecy Against Philistia

15 "Thus says the Lord God: Because c the Philistines d acted revengefully and took vengeance e with malice of soul to destroy in never-ending enmity, 16 therefore thus says the Lord God, x Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off f the Cherethites and destroy the rest of the seacoast. 17 I will execute great vengeance on them g with wrathful rebukes. h Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon them."
