Chapter 25
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Son of man, set your face against the children of Ammon, and you shall prophesy of them.
3 And you shall say to the children of Ammon: Hear ye the word of the Lord God: Thus said the Lord God: Because you have 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:
4 Therefore will I deliver you to the men of the east for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes in you, and shall set up their tents in you: they shall eat your fruits: and they shall drink your milk.
5 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.
6 For thus said the Lord God: Because you have clapped your hands and stamped with your foot, and have rejoiced with all your heart against the land of Israel:
7 Therefore behold I: will stretch forth my hand upon you, and will deliver you to be the spoil of nations, and will cut you off from among the people, and destroy you out of the lands, and break you in pieces: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
8 Thus said the Lord God: Because Moab and Seir have said: Behold the house of Juda is like all other nations:
9 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,
10 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.
11 And I will execute judgments in Moab: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
12 Thus said the Lord God: Because Edom has taken vengeance to revenge herself of the children of Juda, and has greatly offended, and has sought revenge of them:
13 Therefore thus said 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.
14 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, said the Lord God.
15 Thus said the Lord God: Because the Philistines have taken vengeance, and have revenged themselves with all their mind, destroying and satisfying old enmities:
16 Therefore thus said 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.
17 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.
