| 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.
|
| 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, Beth-jeshimoth,
Baal-meon, 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.
|
| 25:12
| 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.
|
| 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.
