The Prophecy
of Ezechiel 25
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Son of man, set thy face against the children of Ammon,
and thou shalt prophesy of them.
And thou shalt say to the children of Ammon: Hear ye
the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God: Because
thou hast said: Ha, ha, upon my sanctuary, because it
was profaned: and upon the land of Israel, because it
was laid waste: and upon the house of Juda, because
they are led into captivity:
Therefore will I deliver thee to the men of the east
for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes
in thee, and shall set up their tents in thee: they
shall eat thy fruits: and they shall drink thy milk.
And I will make Rabbath a stable for camels, and the
children of Ammon a couching place for flocks: and you
shall know that I am the Lord.
For thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast clapped
thy hands and stamped with thy foot, and hast rejoiced
with all thy heart against the land of Israel:
Therefore behold I: will stretch forth my hand upon
thee, and will deliver thee to be the spoil of nations,
and will cut thee off from among the people, and destroy
thee out of the lands, and break thee in pieces: and
thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Thus saith the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have
said: Behold the house of Juda is like all other nations:
Therefore behold I will open the shoulder of Moab from
the cities, from his cities, I say, and his borders,
the noble cities of the land of Bethiesimoth, and Beelmeon,
and Cariathaim,
To the people of the east with the children of Ammon,
and I will give it them for an inheritance: that there
may be no more any remembrance of the children of Ammon
among the nations.
And I will execute judgments in Moab: and they shall
know that I am the Lord.
Thus saith the Lord God: Because Edom hath taken vengeance
to revenge herself of the children of Juda, and hath
greatly offended, and hath sought revenge of them:
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I will stretch forth
my hand upon Edom, and will take away out of it man
and beast, and will make it desolate from the south:
and they that are in Dedan shall fall by the sword.
And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of
my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according
to my wrath, and my fury: and they shall know my vengeance,
saith the Lord God.
Thus saith the Lord God: Because the Philistines have
taken vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all
their mind, destroying and satisfying old enmities :
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will stretch
forth my hand upon the Philistines, and will kill the
killers, and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
And I will execute great vengeance upon them, rebuking
them in fury: and they shall know that I am the Lord,
when I shall lay my vengeance upon them. |
