25:1 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
25:2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and
prophesy against them;
25:3 And say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD;
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my
sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of
Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah,
when they went into captivity;
25:4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the
east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in
thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy
fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
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.
25:6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped
[thy] hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart
with all thy despite against the land of Israel;
25:7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and
will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut
thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out
of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that
I [am] the LORD.
25:8 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say,
Behold, the house of Judah [is] like all the heathen;
25:9 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, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,
25:10 To the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give
them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered
among the nations.
25:11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall
know that I [am] the LORD.
25:12 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because Edom hath dealt against
the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly
offended, and revenged himself upon them;
25:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out
my hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and
I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall
fall by the sword.
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 my anger
and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance,
saith the Lord GOD.
25:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have
dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful
heart, to destroy [it] for the old hatred;
25:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch
out my hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the
Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious
rebukes; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall
lay my vengeance upon them.
