Chapter 25

The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,²

Son of man, set³ thy face against the Ammonites, ⁵⁹⁸³ and prophesy¹⁰ against them;

And say¹ unto the Ammonites, ⁵⁹⁸³ Hear³ the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst,² Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned;⁸ and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate;⁸ and against the house of Judah, when they went¹ into captivity;

Behold, therefore I will deliver⁶ thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set¹⁴ their palaces in thee, and make¹ their dwellings in thee: they shall eat⁴ thy fruit, and they shall drink⁴ thy milk.

And I will make¹ Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites ⁵⁹⁸³ a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know¹ that I [am] the LORD.

For thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped¹⁵ [thine] hands, and stamped² with the feet, and rejoiced⁴ in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;

Behold, therefore I will stretch out¹ mine hand upon thee, and will deliver¹ thee for a spoil ⁸⁹⁷ to the heathen; and I will cut thee off⁵² from the people, and I will cause thee to perish⁵² out of the countries: I will destroy⁵⁵ thee; and thou shalt know¹ that I [am] the LORD.

Thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say,² Behold, the house of Judah [is] like unto all the heathen;

Therefore, behold, I will open⁶ the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities [which are] on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,

Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, ⁵⁹⁸³ and will give¹ them in possession, that the Ammonites ⁵⁹⁸³ may not be remembered¹¹ among the nations.

And I will execute⁴ judgments upon Moab; and they shall know¹ that I [am] the LORD.

Thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt² against the house of Judah by taking² vengeance, and hath greatly² offended,⁴ and revenged⁸ himself upon them;

Therefore thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out¹ mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off⁵² man and beast from it; and I will make¹ it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall⁴ by the sword.

And I will lay¹ my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do¹ in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know¹ my vengeance, saith⁷ the Lord GOD.

Thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt² by revenge, and have taken¹¹ vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy [it] for the old hatred;

Therefore thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out⁶ mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off⁵² the Cherethims, and destroy⁵² the remnant of the sea coast.

And I will execute¹ great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know¹ that I [am] the LORD, when I shall lay² my vengeance upon them.
