Ezekiel 25:1–11

PROPHECIES AGAINST THE NATIONS

JUDGMENT AGAINST AMMON

25 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, face the Ammonites and prophesy against them.o 3 Say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord God: This is what the Lord God says: Because you said, “Aha!”p about my sanctuary when it was desecrated, about the land of Israel when it was laid waste, and about the house of Judah when they went into exile, 4 therefore I am about to give you to the people of the east as a possession. They will set up their encampments and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk. 5 I will make Rabbah a pastureq for camels and Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

6 “ ‘For this is what the Lord God says: Because you clapped your hands,r stamped your feet, and rejoiced over the land of Israel with wholehearted contempt, 7 therefore I am about to stretch out my hand against yous and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and eliminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the Lord.

JUDGMENT AGAINST MOAB

8 “ ‘This is what the Lord God says: Because Moab and Seir said,t “Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations.” 9 Therefore I am about to expose Moab’s flank beginning with itsA frontier cities, the splendor of the land: Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon,a and Kiriathaim. 10 I will give it along with Ammon to the people of the east as a possession, so that Ammon will not be remembered among the nations. 11 So I will execute judgments against Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.
