Ezekiel  Chapter 25    Back    Next

{25:1} The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

{25:2} Son of man, set your face toward the children of Ammon
, and prophesy against them:

{25:3} and tell the children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Because you said, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel
, when it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah
, when they went into captivity
:

{25:4} therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of the east
for a possession, and they shall set their encampments
in you, and make their dwellings
in you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink
your milk
.

{25:5} I will make Rabbah a stable for camels
, and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

{25:6} For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of your soul against the land of Israel;

{25:7} therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand on you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

{25:8} Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because Moab and Seir say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations;

{25:9} therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth
, Baal Meon
, and Kiriathaim
,

{25:10} to the children of the east, [to go] against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.

{25:11} and I will execute judgments on Moab; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.

{25:12} Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because Edom
has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and revenged himself on them;

{25:13} therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; even to Dedan
shall they fall by the sword.

{25:14} I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord Yahweh.

{25:15} Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity
;

{25:16} therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites
, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

{25:17} I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.
