XXV. The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, aset thy face bagainst the Ammonites, and prophesy against them; 3 and 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; 4 behold 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. 5 And 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. 6 For 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; 7 behold 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.

8 Thus saith the Lord God; Because that rMoab and sSeir do say, ssBehold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen; 9 therefore 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, 10 unto the men of the east * with the Ammonites, and will give them zin possession, that ythe Ammonites amay not be remembered among the nations. 11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; kand they shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Thus 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; 13 therefore 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. 14 And 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.

15 Thus 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; 16 therefore 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. 17 And 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.
