Ezekiel 25
The Prophecy against
the Ammonites |
1 |
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
|
2 |
Son of man, set thy face against the
Ammonites, Jer. 49.1-6 · Ezek. 21.28-32 · Amos
1.13-15 · 2.8-11 and
prophesy against them;
|
3 |
and say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word
of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary,
when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was
desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into
captivity;
|
4 |
behold, therefore I will deliver thee to
the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their
palaces 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 Ammonites a couching place for flocks: and ye shall
know that I am the LORD.
|
6 |
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and
stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite
against the land of Israel;
|
7 |
behold, therefore I will stretch out mine
hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen;
and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to
perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt
know that I am the LORD.
|
The Prophecy against
Moab |
8 |
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab Is. 15.1--16.14 ; 25.10-12 · Jer. 48.1-47 · Amos 2.1-3 · 0.1--0.1 ; 0.2 ; -11.11 and Se'ir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like
unto all the heathen;
|
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-jesh'imoth, Ba'al-me'on,
and Kiri-atha'im,
|
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 Moab;
and they shall know that I am the LORD.
|
The Prophecy against
Edom |
12 |
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom Is. 34.5-17 ; 63.1-6 · Jer. 49.7-22 · Ezek. 35.1-15 · Amos 1.11, 12 · 1.14 · Mal. 1.2-5 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 GOD; 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 Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to
mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my
vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
|
The Prophecy against
the Philistines |
15 |
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines Is. 14.29-31 · Jer. 47.1-7 · Joel 3.4-8 · Amos 1.6-8 · 2.4-7 · Zech. 9.5-7 have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a
despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
|
16 |
therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the
Philistines, and I will cut off the Cher'ethim, and destroy the
remnant of the seacoast.
|
17 |
And I will execute great vengeance upon
them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the
LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon
them.
