Ézéchiel 25

¹ And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

² Son of man, set thy face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them :

³ and say unto the children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord Jehovah : Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Because thou saidst, Aha, 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 captivity :

⁴ therefore, behold, I will deliver thee to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments 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 children of Ammon a couching-place for flocks : and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

⁶ For thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of thy soul against the land of Israel ;

⁷ therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the nations ; and I will cut thee off from the peoples, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries : I will destroy thee ; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.

⁸ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the nations ;

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 children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon ; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations :

¹¹ and I will execute judgments upon Moab ; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

¹² Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : 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 Jehovah, I will stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it ; and I will make it desolate from Teman ; even unto Dedan shall they 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 wrath ; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁵ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity ;

¹⁶ therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

¹⁷ And I will execute great vengeance upon them with wrathful rebukes ; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
