Ezekiel 25

(CLV) Ezekiel 25

1 And there is a word of Yahweh unto me, saying, 2 "Son of man, set your face unto the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them; 3 and you have said to the sons of Ammon: Hear you a word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus said the Lord Yahweh: Because of your saying, Aha, to My sanctuary, Because it has been polluted, And unto the ground of Israel, Because it has been desolate, And unto the house of Judah, Because they have gone into a removal: 4 Therefore, lo, I am giving you to sons of the east for a possession, And they set their towers in you, And have placed in you their tabernacles. They eat your fruit, and they drink your milk, 5 And I have given Rabbah for a habitation of camels, And the sons of Ammon for the crouching of a flock, And you have known that I [am] Yahweh. 6 For thus said the Lord Yahweh: Because of your clapping the hand, And of your stamping with the foot, And you rejoice with all your despite in soul Against the ground of Israel, 7 Therefore, lo, I - I have stretched out My hand against you, And have given you for a portion to nations, And I have cut you off from the peoples, And caused you to perish from the lands; I destroy you, and you have known that I [am] Yahweh. 8 Thus said the Lord Yahweh: Because of the saying of Moab and Seir: Lo, as all the nations [is] the house of Judah; 9 Therefore, lo, I am opening the shoulder of Moab - From the cities - from his cities - from his frontier, The beauty of the land, Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim, 10 To the sons of the east, with the sons of Ammon, And I have given it for a possession, So that the sons of Ammon are not remembered among nations. 11 And in Moab I do judgments, And they have known that I [am] Yahweh. 12 Thus said the Lord Yahweh: Because of the doings of Edom, In taking vengeance on the house of Judah, Yea, they are very guilty, And they have taken vengeance on them. 13 Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh: I have stretched out My hand against Edom, And I have cut off from it man and beast, And given it up - a waste, from Teman even to Dedan, By sword they do fall. 14 And I have given My vengeance on Edom, By the hand of My people Israel, And they have done in Edom, According to My anger, and according to My fury, And they have known My vengeance, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh. 15 Thus said the Lord Yahweh: Because of the doings of the Philistines in vengeance, And they take vengeance with despite in soul, To destroy - the enmity eonian! 16 Therefore, thus said the Lord Yahweh: Lo, I am stretching out My hand against the Philistines, And I have cut off the Cherethim, And destroyed the remnant of the haven of the sea, 17 And done upon them great vengeance with furious reproofs, And they have known that I [am] Yahweh, In My giving out My vengeance on them!"
