Ezekiel 25

Judgment on Gentile Nations--Ammon

1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2“Son of man, set your face against the 1sons of Ammon and prophesy against them, 3and say to the sons of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord 2God! This is what the Lord God says: “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 45people of the east as a possession, and they will set up their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will 6eat your fruit and drink your milk. 5I will make 7Rabbah 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 8clapped your hands and stamped your feet, and have 9rejoiced with all the malice in your soul against the land of Israel, 7therefore, behold, I have 10reached out with My hand against you and I will give you as 11plunder to the nations. And I will 12cut you off from the peoples and 13eliminate you from the lands. I will exterminate you. So you will 14know that I am the Lord.”

Moab

8‘The Lord God says this: “Because 15Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’ 9therefore, behold, I am going to 16deprive the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities 17which are on its frontiers, the glory of the land, 18Beth-jeshimoth, 19Baal-meon, and 20Kiriathaim; 10and I will give it as a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the 2122people 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 23Edom 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 24reach out with My hand against Edom and 25eliminate human and animal life from it. And I will turn it into ruins; from 26Teman even to 27Dedan they will fall by the sword. 14And 28I will inflict My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom 29in 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 30revenge, 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 31reach out with My hand against the Philistines and eliminate the 32Cherethites; and I will destroy the remnant of the seacoast. 17I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will 33know that I am the Lord, when I inflict My vengeance on them.”’”
