Judgment on Gentile Nations--Ammon

Eze 25:1The word of the LORD came to me:

Eze 25:2"Son of man, turn toward the Ammonites and prophesy against them.

Eze 25:3Say to the Ammonites, 'Hear the word of the sovereign LORD: This is what the sovereign LORD says: You said "Aha!" about my sanctuary when it was desecrated, about the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and about the house of Judah when they went into exile.

Eze 25:4

Eze 25:4So take note, I am about to make you slaves of the tribes of the east. They will make camps among you and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

Eze 25:5

Eze 25:5I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

Eze 25:6

Eze 25:6For this is what the sovereign LORD says: Because you clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and rejoiced with intense scorn over the land of Israel,

Eze 25:7

Eze 25:7take note, I have stretched out my hand against you, and I will hand you over as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands. I will destroy you; then you will know that I am the LORD.'"

Eze 25:9So look, I am about to open up Moab's flank, eliminating the cities, including its frontier cities, the beauty of the land - Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim.

Eze 25:10

Eze 25:10I will hand it over, along with the Ammonites, to the tribes of the east, so that the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations.
