Ezekiel 25 - Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Prophecies Against the Nations

Judgment against Ammon

25 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, turn your face toward the Ammonites and prophesy against them.(A) 3 Say to the Ammonites: Hear the word of the Lord God: This is what the Lord God says: Because you said, ‘Good!’(B) about My sanctuary when it was desecrated, about the land of Israel when it was laid waste, and about the house of Judah when they went into exile, 4 therefore I am about to give you to the people of the east as a possession. They will set up their encampments and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk. 5 I will make Rabbah a pasture(C) for camels and Ammon a sheepfold. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”

6 For this is what the Lord God says: “Because you clapped your hands,(D) stamped your feet, and rejoiced over the land of Israel with wholehearted contempt, 7 therefore I am about to stretch out My hand against you(E) and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and eliminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.”

Judgment against Moab

8 This is what the Lord God says: “Because Moab and Seir said,(F) ‘Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations,’ 9 therefore I am about to expose Moab’s flank beginning with its[a] frontier cities, the pride of the land: Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon,(G) and Kiriathaim. 10 I will give it along with Ammon to the people of the east as a possession, so that Ammon will not be remembered among the nations. 11 So I will execute judgments against Moab, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”

Judgment against Edom

12 This is what the Lord God says: “Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah(H) and incurred grievous guilt by taking revenge on them, 13 therefore this is what the Lord God says: I will stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off both man and animal from it. I will make it a wasteland; they will fall by the sword from Teman to Dedan. 14 I will take My vengeance(I) on Edom through My people Israel, and they will deal with Edom according to My anger and wrath. So they will know My vengeance.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

Judgment against Philistia

15 This is what the Lord God says: “Because the Philistines acted in vengeance and took revenge with deep contempt,(J) destroying because of their ancient hatred, 16 therefore this is what the Lord God says: I am about to stretch out My hand against the Philistines,(K) cutting off the Cherethites and wiping out what remains of the coastal peoples.[b](L) 17 I will execute great vengeance against them with furious rebukes. They will know that I am Yahweh(M) when I take My vengeance on them.”
