Chapter 25
|
1
|
The word of the LORD 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 couching place for flocks: and ye shall know
that I am the LORD. |
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 LORD. |
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, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, 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 LORD. |
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 LORD, when
I shall lay my vengeance upon them. |
