Ezekiel 25

Ezekiel 25:2

Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them.

Look thou towards the coast of the Ammonites, and, in this posture, do thou prophesy against them.

Ezekiel 25:3

Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, &c.

Because thou didst insult and rejoice in the profanation of my sanctuary, and in the destruction of Israel, &c.

Ezekiel 25:4

Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession.

Behold, therefore I will deliver thee and thy country to the hands of the Babylonians, for their possession and inheritance.

Ezekiel 25:5

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.

And I will make thy chief city Rabbah, wherein are the palaces of thy great princes, to become a stable for camels; and the land of the Ammonites will I make a desert, for the pasturing of sheep. XXV. 8, 9, 10. Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen; 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, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and I will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations. Thus saith the Lord; Because the Moabites and Edomites have triumphed in the desolation of my people, and have scornfully said, We see no difference betwixt Judah and other nations; their God hath had no more power to preserve them, than the gods of their neighbours; Therefore will I cast open the frontiers of Moab, how strongly soever defenced with their wasted cities; and will give up all the richest and pleasantest part of their country, Unto the spoil of the Babylonians; and, together therewith, will I deliver up the land of the Ammonites, to be so utterly wasted, that the memory of it may not remain among the nations.

Ezekiel 25:13

And I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

I will make Edom desolate, in all the coasts thereof: no part of the country shall be free from destruction.

Ezekiel 25:14

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 I will execute my vengeance upon Edom, by the same hand, that hath plagued my people Israel, even the Babylonians; who shall also employ those captive Israelites, which live under them, in this service.

Ezekiel 25:16

And I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

I will cut off both those Philistines, that dwell in the inland, and those, that inhabit along by the sea coast.
