Ezekiel Chapter[BR] 25

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face steadfastly against the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them;

3 and thou shalt say to the children of Ammon, Hear ye the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord; Forasmuch as ye have rejoiced against my sanctuary, because it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, because it was laid waste; and against the house of Juda, because they went into captivity;

Ezekiel Chapter[BR] 25

4 therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of *i. e. the east Kedem for an inheritance, and they shall lodge in thee with their stuff, and they shall pitch their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits, and they shall drink thy Gr. fatness milk.

5 And I will give up the city of Ammon for camels’ pastures, and the children of Ammon for a pasture of sheep: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

Ezekiel Chapter[BR] 25

6 For thus saith the Lord; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with thy foot, and heartily rejoiced against the land of Israel;

7 therefore I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a spoil to the nations; and I will utterly destroy thee from among the peoples, and I will completely cut thee off from out of the countries: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Ezekiel Chapter[BR] 25

8 Thus saith the Lord; Because Moab has said, Behold, are not the house of Israel and Juda like all the other nations?

9 Therefore, behold, I will *Gr. paralyse weaken the shoulder of Moab from his frontier cities, even the choice land, the house of Bethasimuth above the fountain of the city, by the sea-side.

Ezekiel Chapter[BR] 25

10 I have given him the children of Kedem in addition to the children of Ammon for an inheritance, that there may be no remembrance of the children of Ammon. [Alex. +’among the nations’]

11 And I will execute vengeance on Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Thus saith the Lord; Because of what *Gr. Idumea the Idumeans have done in taking vengeance on the house of Juda, and because they have remembered injuries, and have exacted full recompense;

Ezekiel Chapter[BR] 25

13 therefore thus saith the Lord; I will also stretch out my hand upon Idumea, and will utterly destroy out of it man and beast; and will make it desolate; and they that are pursued out of Thaeman shall fall by the sword.

14 And I will execute my vengeance on Idumea by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall deal in Idumea according to mine anger and according to my wrath, and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord.

Ezekiel Chapter[BR] 25

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Because the Philistines have wrought revengefully, and raised up vengeance rejoicing from their heart to destroy the Israelites *Alex. for ever to a man;

16 therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and will utterly destroy *Alex. the judges (kritav) of Sidon the Cretans, and will cut off the remnant that dwell by the sea-coast.

Ezekiel Chapter[BR] 25

17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have brought my vengeance upon them.
