Ezekiel 25
|
|
| 25:1
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, |
|
| 25:2
Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them; |
|
| 25:3
And say unto 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. |
 (25:6-7) God will kill everyone that claps his hands or stamps his feet "against the land of Israel."
When he's done with the killing, everyone will know that he is the Lord.
(25:6) "For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy
despite against the land of Israel."
(25:7) "I will stretch out mine hand upon thee ... I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD."
|
| 25:6
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine 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 mine 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 unto 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, Bethjeshimoth,
Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim, |
|
| 25:10
Unto 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. |
(25:11) "I will execute
judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
|
| 25:12
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of
Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself
upon them; |
 (25:13-14)
God will send Israelites to slaughter the people of Edom.
How should the Edomites be treated?
(25:13) "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom,
and will cut off man and beast from it ... I will make it desolate ... they ... shall fall by the sword."
(25:14) "I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury;
and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD."
|
| 25:13
Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine 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 mine 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; |
(25:16-17)
God will "stretch out his hand" to the Philistines (to kill them all).
(25:16) "I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines"
(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."
|
| 25:16
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine 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.
