Ezekiel 25

Judgment on Gentile Nations--Ammon

1And the word of the Lord came to me saying, 2“Son of man, set your face toward the 1sons of Ammon and prophesy against them, 3and say to the sons of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord 2God! Thus says the Lord God, “Because you said, ‘3Aha!’ 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 4sons of the east for a possession, and they will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will 5eat your fruit and drink your milk. 5I will make 6Rabbah a pasture for camels and the sons of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Thus you will know that I am the Lord.” 6For thus says the Lord God, “Because you have 7clapped your hands and stamped your feet and 8rejoiced with all the scorn of your soul against the land of Israel, 7therefore, behold, I have 9stretched out My hand against you and I will give you for 10spoil to the nations. And I will 11cut you off from the peoples and 12make you perish from the lands; I will destroy you. Thus you will 13know that I am the Lord.”

Moab

8‘Thus says the Lord God, “Because 14Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’ 9therefore, behold, I am going to 15deprive the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities which are on its 16frontiers, the glory of the land, 17Beth-jeshimoth, 18Baal-meon and 19Kiriathaim, 10and I will give it for a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the 20sons of the east, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations. 11Thus I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.”

Edom

12‘Thus says the Lord God, “Because 21Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred grievous guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,” 13therefore thus says the Lord God, “I will also 22stretch out My hand against Edom and 23cut off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste; from 24Teman even to 25Dedan they will fall by the sword. 1426I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom 27according to My anger and according to My wrath; thus they will know My vengeance,” declares the Lord God.

Philistia

15‘Thus says the Lord God, “Because the Philistines have acted in 28revenge and have taken vengeance with scorn of soul to destroy with everlasting enmity,” 16therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will 29stretch out My hand against the Philistines, even cut off the 30Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast. 17I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will 31know that I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance on them.”’”
