Ezekiel 25

1 The word of יהוה came again unto me, saying,

2 “Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;

3 And say unto the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of Lord (Adonai) יהוה! Thus saith Lord (Adonai) יהוה: “Because you saidst, ‘Aha!’, against My sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Yisrael, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah (Yehudah), when they went into captivity;

4 Behold, therefore I will deliver you to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in you, and make their dwellings in you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.

5 And I will make Rabbah (Amman, capital city of Ammonites) a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks; and you shall know that I am יהוה.”

6 For thus saith Lord (Adonai) יהוה: “Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all your despite against the land of Yisrael;

7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out Mine hand upon you, and will deliver you for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off from the people, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you; and you shalt know that I am יהוה.”

8 Thus saith Lord (Adonai) יהוה: “Because that Moav and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah (Yehudah) is like unto all the nations;’

9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moav from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beit ha-Yeshimot, Baal-Meon, and Qiryata-yim,

10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.

11 And I will execute judgments upon Moav; and they shall know that I am יהוה.”

12 Thus saith Lord (Adonai) יהוה: “Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah (Yehudah) by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;”

13 Therefore thus saith Lord (Adonai) יהוה: “I will also stretch out Mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

14 And I will lay My vengeance upon Edom by the hand of My people Yisrael; and they shall do in Edom according to Mine anger and according to My fury; and they shall know My vengeance,” saith Lord (Adonai) יהוה.

15 Thus saith Lord (Adonai) יהוה: “Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;”

16 Therefore thus saith Lord (Adonai) יהוה: “Behold, I will stretch out Mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am יהוה, when I shall lay My vengeance upon them.”’”
