Chapter
25

1
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

2
Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;

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;

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.

5
And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace
for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

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;

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.

8
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house
of Judah is like unto all the heathen;

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,

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.

11
And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

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;

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.

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.

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;

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.

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.
