Ezekiel 25:5-7
International Standard Version
5 I will turn Rabbah[a] into a pasture for camels, and Ammon will become a resting place for flocks of sheep. That’s how they’ll learn that I am the Lord.”’”
Why God Condemned Ammon
6 “This is what the Lord God says: ‘Because you’ve applauded, stamped your feet, and rejoiced with all sorts of malice in your heart[b] against the land of Israel, 7 therefore you’d better[c] watch out! I’m raising a clenched fist[d] in your direction! I’m about to feed you to the surrounding[e] nations as war plunder. I’m going to eliminate you as a nation and kill off those of you who survive to live in other[f] countries. I’m going to destroy you, and that’s how you’ll learn that I am the Lord.’”
