Ezekiel 25

¹The word of the Lord came to me:

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

³Say 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 made desolate , and over the house of Judah when they went into exile ,

⁴therefore behold , I am handing you over to 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 .

⁵I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and Ammon a fold for flocks . Then you will know that I am the Lord.

⁶For thus says the Lord God: Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet and rejoiced with all the malice within your soul against the land of Israel ,

⁷therefore , behold , I have stretched out my hand against you, and 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.

⁸Thus says the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir said , Behold , the house of Judah is like all the other nations ,

⁹therefore I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities , from its cities on its frontier , the glory of the country , Beth-jeshimoth , Baal-meon , and Kiriathaim .

¹⁰I will give it along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession , that the Ammonites may be remembered no more among the nations ,

¹¹and I will execute judgments upon Moab . Then they will know that I am the Lord.

¹²Thus says the Lord God: Because Edom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended in taking vengeance on them,

¹³therefore thus says the Lord God, I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast . And I will make it desolate ; from Teman even to Dedan they shall fall by the sword .

¹⁴And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel , and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath , and they shall know my vengeance , declares the Lord God.

¹⁵Thus says the Lord God: Because the Philistines acted revengefully and took vengeance with malice of soul to destroy in never-ending enmity ,

¹⁶therefore thus says the Lord God, Behold , I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines , and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the rest of the seacoast .

¹⁷I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes . Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon them.
