Ezekiel
Ezek.25
[1] The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
[2] Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and
prophesy against them;
[3] And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord
GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, 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;
[4] Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of
the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in
thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit,
and they shall drink thy milk.
[5] And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the
Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am
the LORD.
[6] For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped
thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart
with all thy despite against the land of Israel;
[7] Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon
thee, and will deliver thee for 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; and thou shalt
know that I am the LORD.
[8] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do
say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;
[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,
[10] Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will
give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered
among the nations.
[11] And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they
shall know that I am the LORD.
[12] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt
against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly
offended, and revenged himself upon them;
[13] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also
stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast
from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of
Dedan shall fall by the sword.
[14] And I 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 they shall know my vengeance,
saith the Lord GOD.
[15] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have
dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful
heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
[16] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off
the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
[17] And I will execute great vengeance upon them with
furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I
shall lay my vengeance upon them.
