Ezekiel 25

The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, ²Son of man, ^aset thy face ^bagainst the Ammonites, and prophesy against them; ³and say unto ^bthe Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God; Because thou saidst, ^cAha, against my sanctuary, when ^dit was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity; ⁴behold therefore, I will deliver thee to ^ethe men of the east ^zfor a possession, and they shall set their ^fpalaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk. ⁵And I will make ^gRabbah ^ha stable for camels, and the Ammonites ⁱa couching place for flocks: ^kand ye shall know that I am the Lord. ⁶For thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast ^lclapped thine hands, and ^mstamped with the feet, and ⁿrejoiced in heart with all thy ^odespite against the land of Israel; ⁷behold therefore, ^pI will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee ^qfor 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; ^kand thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

⁸Thus saith the Lord God; Because that ^rMoab and ^sSeir do say, ^ssBehold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen; ⁹therefore behold, I will open the ^tside of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, ^uthe glory of the country, ^vBeth-jeshimoth, ^wBaal-meon, and ^xKiriathaim, ¹⁰unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them ^zin possession, that ^ythe Ammonites ^amay not be remembered among the nations. ¹¹And I will execute judgments upon Moab; ^kand they shall know that I am the Lord.

¹²Thus saith the Lord God; ^bBecause that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and ^chath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; ¹³therefore thus saith the Lord God; ^dI will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and ^ewill cut off man and beast from it; and ^eeI will make it desolate from ^fTeman; and they of ^gDedan shall fall by the sword. ¹⁴And ^hI 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 ⁱthey shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God.

¹⁵Thus saith the Lord God; ^jBecause ^kthe Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance ^lwith a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred; ¹⁶therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, ^dI will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and ^mI will cut off ⁿthe Cherethims, and ^modestroy the remnant of the ^psea coast. ¹⁷And I will execute great vengeance upon them ^qwith furious rebukes, ^rand they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
