Ezekiel 25

¹ The word of the LORD came to me:

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

³ Say to the Ammonites: Hear the word of the Lord GOD!
Thus says the Lord GOD:
Because you said "Aha!"
over my sanctuary when it was profaned,
and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste,
and over the house of Judah when they went into exile—

⁴ therefore I am about to hand you over
to the people of the east as a possession.
They will set up their encampments among you
and pitch their dwellings in your midst.
They will eat your fruit
and they will drink your milk.

⁵ I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels
and the Ammonites a resting place for flocks.
Then you will know that I am the LORD.

⁶ For thus says the Lord GOD:
Because you clapped your hands
and stamped your feet
and rejoiced with all the contempt in your soul
against the land of Israel—

⁷ therefore I am stretching out my hand against you
and will give you as plunder to the nations.
I will cut you off from the peoples
and eliminate you from the lands.
I will destroy you,
and you will know that I am the LORD.

⁸ Thus says the Lord GOD:
Because Moab and Seir said,
"Look—the house of Judah
is like all the other nations,"

⁹ therefore I am about to lay open the flank of Moab,
stripping it of its cities—its cities on every side—
the glory of the land:
Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim.

¹⁰ I will give it along with the Ammonites
to the people of the east as a possession,
so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations.

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

¹² Thus says the Lord GOD:
Because Edom acted with vengeance
against the house of Judah,
and incurred great guilt by taking revenge on them—

¹³ therefore thus says the Lord GOD:
I will stretch out my hand against Edom
and cut off from it both human and animal.
I will make it a ruin from Teman,
and as far as Dedan they will fall by the sword.

¹⁴ I will lay my vengeance on Edom
by the hand of my people Israel.
They will act in Edom
according to my anger and my fury,
and they will know my vengeance—
declares the Lord GOD.

¹⁵ Thus says the Lord GOD:
Because the Philistines acted in vengeance
and took revenge with contempt of soul,
destroying with everlasting hostility—

¹⁶ therefore thus says the Lord GOD:
I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines.
I will cut off the Cherethites
and destroy the remnant of the seacoast.

¹⁷ I will execute great acts of vengeance against them
with furious rebukes.
Then they will know that I am the LORD
when I lay my vengeance on them.
