Ezekiel 25
Literal Standard Version Par ▾ 
1And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, 2“Son of man, set your face toward the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them; 3and you have said to the sons of Ammon: Hear a word of Lord YHWH! Thus said Lord YHWH: Because of your saying, Aha, to My sanctuary, "" Because it has been defiled, "" And to the ground of Israel, "" Because it has been desolate, "" And to the house of Judah, "" Because they have gone into a removal: 4Therefore, behold, I am giving you to sons of the east for a possession, "" And they set their towers in you, "" And have placed their dwelling places in you. They eat your fruit, and they drink your milk, 5And 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] YHWH. 6For thus said Lord YHWH: 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, 7Therefore, behold, 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] YHWH.

8Thus said Lord YHWH: Because of the saying of Moab and Seir: Behold, the house of Judah [is] as all the nations; 9Therefore, behold, I am opening the shoulder of Moab—From the cities—from his cities—from his frontier, "" The beauty of the land, Beth-Jeshimoth, Ba‘al-Meon, and Kiriathaim, 10To 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. 11And I do judgments in Moab, "" And they have known that I [am] YHWH.

12Thus said Lord YHWH: Because of the doings of Edom, "" In taking vengeance on the house of Judah, "" Indeed, they are very guilty, "" And they have taken vengeance on them. 13Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have stretched out My hand against Edom, "" And I have cut off man and beast from it, "" And given it up—a ruin, from Teman even to Dedan, "" They fall by sword. 14And 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, "" A declaration of Lord YHWH.

15Thus said Lord YHWH: Because of the doings of the Philistines in vengeance, "" And they take vengeance with despite in soul, "" Destruction [with] continuous enmity, 16Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, 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, 17And done great vengeance on them with furious reproofs, "" And they have known that I [am] YHWH, "" In My giving out My vengeance on them!”
