OET-RV EZE Chapter 25

25 Then Yahweh gave me another message:[ref] 2 “Humanity’s child, keep looking towards the Ammonites and prophesy against them. 3 Tell them to listen to this messages because this is what the master Yahweh says: Because you said, “Aha!” over my sanctuary when it was desecrated, and against the land of Yisrael when it was desolate, and against the kingdom of Yehudah when they went into exile, 4 therefore, listen: I’m giving you to a people in the east as their possession. They’ll set up camp against you and set up their tents among you. They’ll eat your fruit vand drink your milk. 5 I’ll make the Ammonite capital city, Rabbah,[fn] into a camel pasture and the people of Ammon into a resting place for flocks. Then you’ll all know that I am Yahweh.

6 Because the master Yahweh says this: You clapped your hands and stamped your feet and celebrated with all the contempt within you against the Israeli nation, 7 therefore, listen Ammon. I’ll strike you down and give you as plunder to the other nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from among the countries. I’ll destroy you, and you’ll know that I am Yahweh.’

8 The master Yahweh says this, ‘Because Moab and Seir say that the kingdom of Yehudah is just like every other nation,[ref] 9 well listen, I’ll destroy the border cities protecting Moab, starting with the splendour of Beyt-Yeshimot, Baal-Meon, and Kiriataim. 10 I’ll hand them over to the people of the east who’ve already been against the Ammonites—I’ll give them up as a possession so that the Ammonites won’t be remembered among the nations. 11 Yes, I’ll perform judgments against Moab, then they’ll know that I am Yahweh.’

12 The master Yahweh also says, ‘Edom has taken vengeance against the kingdom of Yehudah and has done wrong by doing that.[ref] 13 Therefore, the master Yahweh says: I’ll strike Edom with my hand and destroy every person and animal there. I’ll make it a ruined, abandoned place, from Teman all the way to Dedan—they’ll fall by the sword. 14 I’ll use my people Israel to place my vengeance on Edom, and they’ll apply my anger and fury to Edom so they’ll know my vengeance. That is the master Yahweh’s declaration.’

15 The master Yahweh says this, ‘The Philistines have chosen hateful vengeance and have put much effort into trying to destroy Yehudah,[ref] 16 So this is what the master Yahweh says: Listen, I’ll take action against the Philistines, and I’ll cut off the Kerethites and destroy the remnant along the coast. 17 I’ll take severe vengeance against them with furious acts to punish them—they’ll know that I am Yahweh, when I take my vengeance on them.’ ”
