CHAPTER 25
The word of the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
.
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 L
ORD
.
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 L
ORD
.
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 L
ORD
, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
CHAPTER 26
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first
day
of the month,
that
the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is
broken
that was
the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished,
now
she is
laid waste:
3
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
am
against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause
