Ezekiel 25

Proclamation Against Ammon

25The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ²“Son of man, ^aset your face ^bagainst the Ammonites, and prophesy against them. ³Say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God: ^c“Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity, ⁴indeed, therefore, I will deliver you as a possession to the ¹men of the East, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. ⁵And I will make ^dRabbah ^ea stable for camels and Ammon a resting place for flocks. ^fThen you shall know that I am the Lord.”

⁶‘For thus says the Lord God: “Because you ^gclapped your hands, stamped your feet, and ^hrejoiced in heart with all your disdain for the land of Israel, ⁷indeed, therefore, I will ⁱstretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations; I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from the countries; I will destroy you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”

Proclamation Against Moab

⁸‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because ^jMoab and ^kSeir say, ‘Look! The house of Judah is like all the nations,’ ⁹therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and ^lKirjathaim. ^10mTo the men of the East I will give it as a possession, together with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites ⁿmay not be remembered among the nations. ¹¹And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the Lord.”

Proclamation Against Edom

¹²‘Thus says the Lord God: ^o“Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended by avenging itself on them,” ¹³therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom, cut off man and beast from it, and make it desolate from Teman; ²Dedan shall fall by the sword. ^14pI will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, that they may do in Edom according to My anger and according to My fury; and they shall know My vengeance,” says the Lord God.

Proclamation Against Philistia

¹⁵‘Thus says the Lord God: ^q“Because ^rthe Philistines dealt vengefully and took vengeance with ³a spiteful heart, to destroy because of the ⁴old hatred,” ¹⁶therefore thus says the Lord God: ^s“I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the ^tCherethites ^uand destroy the remnant of the seacoast. ¹⁷I will ^vexecute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; ^wand they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay My vengeance upon them.” ’ ”
