“1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set
thy face against the Ammonites, 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 couchingplace
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.”
“8 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir 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, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon,
and Kiriathaim, 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. 12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; 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 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. 15 Thus saith the Lord GOD;
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 the Lord GOD; 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] the LORD,
when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.” (Ezekiel 25:1-17 AV)
