Eze 25:2“Son of man, turn and face the land of Ammon and prophesy against its people.

Eze 25:4

Eze 25:5

Eze 25:5And I will turn the city of Rabbah into a pasture for camels, and all the land of the Ammonites into a resting place for sheep and goats. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

Eze 25:7

Eze 25:10

Eze 25:10And I will hand Moab over to nomads from the eastern deserts, just as I handed over Ammon. Yes, the Ammonites will no longer be counted among the nations.
