Ezekiel 25

New Life Version

Word against Ammon

25 The Word of the Lord came to me saying, ² “Son of man, look toward the Ammonites and speak against them. ³ Tell them, ‘Hear the Word of the Lord God! The Lord God says, “Because you were happy when My holy place was made unclean, and when the land of Israel was made waste, and when the people of Judah were taken away, ⁴ I am going to give you to the people of the east. They will put up their tents among you and live among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk. ⁵ I will turn the city of Rabbah into a field for camels, and Ammon into a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am the Lord.” ⁶ For the Lord God says, “Because you have clapped your hands and crushed under your feet and showed your joy because of your hate for Israel, ⁷ I have put out My hand against you. I will give you away to the nations. And I will destroy you from the nations and from the lands. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”

Word against Moab

⁸ ‘The Lord God says, “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘See, Judah is like all the nations,’ ⁹ I will lay waste the side of Moab, beginning with these cities there, Beth-jeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim, the best of the country. ¹⁰ I will give it to the people of the east, as I did with Ammon, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations. ¹¹ I will punish Moab, and they will know that I am the Lord.”

Word against Edom

¹² ‘The Lord God says, “Because Edom has fought against Judah in its anger, and has become very guilty by doing so,” ¹³ the Lord God says, “I will put out My hand against Edom and kill its men and their animals. I will destroy it and they will fall by the sword from Teman to Dedan. ¹⁴ I will punish Edom by the hand of My people Israel. They will act in My anger against Edom, and Edom will know My anger,” says the Lord God.

Word against Philistia

¹⁵ ‘The Lord God says, “Because the Philistines have fought to destroy Judah with the lasting anger that is in their hearts,” ¹⁶ the Lord God says, “I will put out My hand against the Philistines. And I will destroy the Cherethites and those left beside the sea. ¹⁷ I will punish them in My anger, and they will know that I am the Lord when I punish them.”’”
