Ezekiel 以西结书25

25The word of the LORD came to me:
2"Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy¹ against them.
3Say to them, 'Hear the word of the Sovereign LORD . This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you said "Aha!" over my sanctuary² when it was desecrated³ and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and over the people of Judah when they went into exile,
4therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East as a possession. They will set up their camps and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.
5I will turn Rabbah into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD .
6For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice⁴ of your heart against the land of Israel,
7therefore I will stretch out my hand against you and give you as plunder⁵ to the nations. I will cut you off from the nations and exterminate⁶ you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD .' "
8"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'Because Moab and Seir said, "Look, the house of Judah has become like all the other nations,"
9therefore I will expose the flank of Moab, beginning at its frontier towns-Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon and Kiriathaim-the glory of that land.
10I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations;
11and I will inflict⁷ punishment on Moab. Then they will know that I am the LORD .' "
12"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'Because Edom took revenge on the house of Judah and became very guilty by doing so,
13therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and kill its men and their animals. I will lay it waste, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword.
14I will take vengeance⁸ on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger and my wrath⁹; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign LORD .' "
15"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'Because the Philistines¹⁰ acted in vengeance and took revenge with malice in their hearts, and with ancient hostility¹¹ sought to destroy Judah,
16therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Kerethites and destroy those remaining along the coast.
17I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the LORD , when I take vengeance on them.' "
