Ezekiel 25

Judgment on Gentile Nations--Ammon

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2“Son of man, set your face against the asons of Ammon and prophesy against them, 3and say to the sons of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord
Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord, and so throughout the ch
God! This is what the Lord God says: “Because you said, ‘ cAha!’ 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 exile,
4therefore, behold, I am going to give you to the
Lit sons
,
epeople of the east as a possession, and they will set up their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will feat your fruit and drink your milk.
5I will make gRabbah a pasture for camels, and the sons of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am the Lord.” 6For this is what the Lord God says: “Because you have hclapped your hands and stamped your feet, and have irejoiced with all the malice in your soul against the land of Israel, 7therefore, behold, I have jreached out with My hand against you and I will give you as kplunder to the nations. And I will lcut you off from the peoples and meliminate you from the lands. I will exterminate you. So you will nknow that I am the Lord.”

Moab

8 ‘The Lord God says this: “Because oMoab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’ 9therefore, behold, I am going to
Lit open
deprive the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities
Lit from its end
which are on its frontiers, the glory of the land, rBeth-jeshimoth, sBaal-meon, and tKiriathaim;
10and I will give it as a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the
Lit sons
,
vpeople of the east, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.
11So I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.”

Edom

12 ‘The Lord God says this: “Because wEdom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred great guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,” 13therefore this is what the Lord God says: “I will also xreach out with My hand against Edom and yeliminate human and animal life from it. And I will turn it into ruins; from zTeman even to aaDedan they will fall by the sword. 14And abI will inflict My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom acin accordance with My anger and My wrath; so they will know My vengeance,” declares the Lord God.

Philistia

15 ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Because the Philistines have acted in adrevenge, and have taken vengeance with malice in their souls to destroy with everlasting hostility,” 16therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am going to aereach out with My hand against the Philistines and eliminate the afCherethites; and I will destroy the remnant of the seacoast. 17I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will agknow that I am the Lord, when I inflict My vengeance on them.”’”
