A
Prophecy Against Ammon
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 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.
A Prophecy Against Moab
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.
A Prophecy Against Edom
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 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.
A Prophecy Against
Philistia
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 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. |
