Ezekiel 25:2–10

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.
