Ezekiel 25

New American Standard Bible

Judgment on Gentile Nations—Ammon

25 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ² “Son of man, set your face against the ^(A)sons of Ammon and prophesy against them, ³ and say to the sons of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord ^[a]God! This is what the Lord God says: “Because you said, ‘^(B)Aha!’ against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into exile, ⁴ therefore, behold, I am going to give you to the ^[b](C)people of the east as a possession, and they will set up their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will ^(D)eat your fruit and drink your milk. ⁵ I will make ^(E)Rabbah a pasture for camels, and the sons of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am the Lord.” ⁶ For this is what the Lord God says: “Because you have ^(F)clapped your hands and stamped your feet, and have ^(G)rejoiced with all the malice in your soul against the land of Israel, ⁷ therefore, behold, I have ^(H)reached out with My hand against you and I will give you as ^(I)plunder to the nations. And I will ^(J)cut you off from the peoples and ^(K)eliminate you from the lands. I will exterminate you. So you will ^(L)know that I am the Lord.”

Moab

⁸ ‘The Lord God says this: “Because ^(M)Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’ ⁹ therefore, behold, I am going to ^[c]deprive the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities ^[d]which are on its frontiers, the glory of the land, ^(N)Beth-jeshimoth, ^(O)Baal-meon, and ^(P)Kiriathaim; ¹⁰ and I will give it as a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the ^[e](Q)people of the east, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations. ¹¹ So I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.”

Edom

¹² ‘The Lord God says this: “Because ^(R)Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred great guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,” ¹³ therefore this is what the Lord God says: “I will also ^(S)reach out with My hand against Edom and ^(T)eliminate human and animal life from it. And I will turn it into ruins; from ^(U)Teman even to ^(V)Dedan they will fall by the sword. ¹⁴ And ^(W)I will inflict My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom ^(X)in accordance with My anger and My wrath; so they will know My vengeance,” declares the Lord God.

Philistia

¹⁵ ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Because the Philistines have acted in ^(Y)revenge, and have taken vengeance with malice in their souls to destroy with everlasting hostility,” ¹⁶ therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am going to ^(Z)reach out with My hand against the Philistines and eliminate the ^(AA)Cherethites; and I will destroy the remnant of the seacoast. ¹⁷ I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will ^(AB)know that I am the Lord, when I inflict My vengeance on them.”’”
