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.
