Ezekiel Chapter 25

Ezek 24:25-27

A Message for Ammon

            ¹ A message from Yahveh came to me:

² “Face the Ammonites and prophesy against them, ³ ’Because you said, “Ha!” at my sanctuary when it was profaned, and at Israel when it became a wasteland, and at Judah when they went into exile, ⁴ I’m going to turn you over to the people from the east. They’ll set up their camps among you and live there, eat your fruit and drink your milk. ⁵ I’ll make Rabbah into a pasture for camels and the Ammonites a resting place for flocks. ⁶ Because you clapped your hands and stamped your feet and celebrated with scorn at Israel, ⁷ I’ll give you to the nations for spoil, cut you off from the peoples, and make you perish from the land so you’ll know I’m Yahveh.’

Ezek 25:1-7

A Message for Moab

⁸ “The Lord Yahveh says, ‘Because Moab and Seir consider Judah like any other nation, ⁹ I’m going to take away from Moab its frontier towns, the pride of its land: Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim. ¹⁰ I’ll give it and the Ammonites to the people from the east and the Ammonites will pass from memory. ¹¹ I’ll carry out judgments on Moab. They’ll know I’m Yahveh.’”

¹² “The Lord Yahveh says, ‘Edom has taken revenge on Judah and incurred grievous guilt, ¹³ so I’ll slay its people and animals and lay it waste. They’ll fall by the sword from Teman to Dedan. ¹⁴ I’ll take revenge on Edom by my people Israel. They’ll act in Edom according to my anger; so they’ll know my payback.’                                                                      

¹⁵ “The Lord Yahveh says, ‘The Philistines have acted in scornful revenge to destroy with everlasting enmity. ¹⁶ So I’ll slay the Cherethites and destroy the remnant along the coast. ¹⁷ I’ll carry out severe vengeance with angry rebukes. They’ll know I’m Yahveh.’”
