Ezekiel 25

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 Son of man, set your face steadfastly against the children of Ammon, and prophesy againstthem; 3 and you shall say to the children of Ammon, Hear you⌃ the word of the Lord; thus saysthe Lord; Forasmuch as you⌃ have rejoiced against my sanctuary, because it was profaned; and against theland of Israel, because it was laid waste; and against the house of Juda, because they went into captivity; 4 therefore, behold, Iwill deliver you to the children of Kedem for an inheritance, and they shall lodge in you withtheir stuff, and they shall pitch their tents in you: they shall eat your fruits, and they shall drinkyour milk. 5 And I will give up the city of Ammon for camels' pastures, and the children of Ammon fora pasture of sheep: and you⌃ shall know that I am the Lord. 6 For thus says the Lord; Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with your foot,and heartily rejoiced against the land of Israel; 7 therefore I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a spoil to the nations;and I will utterly destroy you from among the peoples, and I will completely cut you off from out of thecountries: and you shall know that I am the Lord. 8 Thus says the Lord; Because Moab has said, Behold, are not the house of Israel and Judalike all theother nations? 9 Therefore, behold, I will weaken the shoulder of Moab from his frontier cities,even the choice land, the house of Bethasimuth above the fountain of the city, by the sea-side. 10 I have given him the children of Kedem in addition to the children of Ammon for an inheritance,that there may be no remembrance of the children of Ammon. 11 And I will execute vengeance on Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord. 12 Thus says the Lord; Because of what the Idumeans have done in taking vengeance on thehouse of Juda, andbecause they have remembered injuries, and have exacted full recompense; 13 therefore thus says the Lord; I will also stretch out my hand upon Idumea, and will utterlydestroy out of it man and beast; and will make it desolate; and they that are pursued out of Thaeman shallfall by the sword. 14 And I will execute my vengeance on Idumea by the hand of my people Israel: and they shalldeal in Idumea according to mine anger and according to my wrath, and they shall know my vengeance, saysthe Lord. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord, Because the Philistines have wrought revengefully, andraised up vengeance rejoicing from their heart to destroythe Israelites to a man; 16 therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, Iwill stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and will utterly destroy the Cretans, and willcut off the remnant that dwell by the sea-coast. 17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them; and they shall know that I am the Lord,when I have brought my vengeance upon them.
