Ezekiel 25

25 Yahweh gave me another message. He said, 2 “Mortal, turn toward the land where the people of Ammon live to show that you oppose them, and prophesy against them. 3 Tell them that they must listen to my message. This is what I, the Lord Yahweh, say: ‘You shouted in triumph when the Babylonians defiled my temple, when they ruined the land of Israel, and when they took the people of Judah away to Babylonia. 4 So I am about to hand you over to the peoples who live in the desert east of you, and they will take your land as their own. They will set up their camps in your territory and pitch their tents there. They themselves will eat the fruit that grows in your land, and they will drink the milk from your herds. 5 I will turn your capital city, Rabbah, into a pasture for camels, and I will turn the rest of the land of Ammon into a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

6 This is what I, the Lord Yahweh, say: You clapped your hands and stamped your feet to celebrate, and you gloated because you utterly despised the land of Israel and everyone who lived there. 7 So I am about to use my power to punish you. I will let other nations carry you off as plunder. I will destroy you completely, so that you no longer exist as a people in any land. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.’

8 This is what I, the Lord Yahweh, say: ‘The people of Moab and the people of Seir said that the people of Judah were no different from all the other nations. 9 So I am about to leave Moab’s frontier defenseless. I will destroy the cities that guard its border, the finest cities in that land: Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim. 10 Along with the land of the people of Ammon, I will give Moab’s territory to the peoples who live in the desert to the east, and they will possess it. I will do this so that the nations will no longer remember that the people of Ammon ever existed. 11 I will also punish the people of Moab. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’

12 This is what I, the Lord Yahweh, say: ‘The people of Edom took revenge on the people of Judah. By taking such cruel revenge on them, the people of Edom became deeply guilty. 13 So this is what I, the Lord Yahweh, say: I will use my power to punish the people of Edom. I will destroy both the people and the animals that live there. I will ruin their land completely, from Teman all the way to Dedan, and their enemies will kill them with swords. 14 I will take revenge on the people of Edom by using my people Israel to do it. They will punish the people of Edom, and in doing so they will show how furiously angry I am with them. Then the people of Edom will know that I have taken revenge on them.’ That is what I, the Lord Yahweh, declare.

15 This is what I, the Lord Yahweh, say: ‘The Philistines took revenge on the people of Judah. Because they utterly despised my people, they took revenge in order to destroy them, for they had hated my people for a very long time. 16 So this is what I, the Lord Yahweh, say: I am about to use my power to punish the Philistines. I will destroy the Cherethites, and I will wipe out everyone who still lives along the seacoast. 17 I will take terrible revenge on them by punishing them in my fury. Then, when I take revenge on them, they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
