Hesekiel 25
Schlachter 2000
Gerichtsworte über die benachbarten Heidenvölker
Über die Ammoniter
25 Und das Wort des Herrn erging an mich folgendermaßen:
2 Menschensohn, wende dein Angesicht gegen die Ammoniter und weissage gegen sie;
3 und sprich zu den Ammonitern: Hört das Wort Gottes, des Herrn! So spricht Gott, der Herr: Weil du »Ha! Ha!« gerufen hast über mein Heiligtum, weil es entweiht ist, und über das Land Israel, weil es verwüstet ist, und über das Haus Juda, weil es in die Verbannung wandern musste;
4 darum siehe, will ich dich den Söhnen des Ostens[a] zum Besitztum geben; die sollen ihre Zeltlager in dir aufschlagen und ihre Wohnungen in dir errichten; sie sollen deine Früchte essen und deine Milch trinken.
5 Ich will Rabba zu einer Weide für Kamele machen und das Ammoniterland zu einem Lagerplatz der Herden; und ihr sollt erkennen, dass ich der Herr bin!
6 Denn so spricht Gott, der Herr: Weil du mit den Händen geklatscht und mit den Füßen gestampft hast, ja, dich von Herzen mit aller Verachtung über das Land Israel gefreut hast,
7 darum, siehe, will ich meine Hand gegen dich ausstrecken und dich den Heiden zum Raub übergeben und dich aus den Völkern ausrotten und dich aus den Ländern vertilgen und dich verwüsten; und du sollst erkennen, dass ich der Herr bin!
Über die Moabiter
8 So spricht Gott, der Herr: Weil Moab und Seir sprechen: »Siehe, das Haus Juda ist wie alle Heidenvölker!«,
9 darum, siehe, will ich Moabs Bergseite entblößen von den Städten, von den Städten an seinen Grenzen, die eine Zierde des Landes sind, nämlich Beth-Jesimot, Baal-Meon und Kirjataim.
10 Den Söhnen des Ostens will ich sie mitsamt dem Ammoniterland zum Erbe geben, sodass man unter den Heidenvölkern nicht mehr an die Ammoniter gedenken wird.
11 Und über Moab will ich Gericht halten; und sie sollen erkennen, dass ich der Herr bin!
Über die Edomiter
12 So spricht Gott, der Herr: Weil Edom Rachsucht geübt hat am Haus Juda und sich damit schwer verschuldet hat, indem es sich an ihnen rächte,
13 darum, so spricht Gott, der Herr: Ich will meine Hand gegen Edom ausstrecken und Menschen und Vieh darin ausrotten. Von Teman an will ich es in Trümmer legen, und bis nach Dedan sollen sie durchs Schwert fallen!
14 Und ich will meine Rache an Edom vollstrecken durch die Hand meines Volkes Israel; diese sollen an Edom handeln nach meinem Zorn und nach meinem Grimm, sodass sie meine Rache kennenlernen sollen, spricht Gott, der Herr.
Über die Philister
15 So spricht Gott, der Herr: Weil die Philister aus Rachsucht gehandelt und Rache geübt haben in Verachtung des Lebens und in ewiger Feindschaft, um zu verderben,
16 darum, so spricht Gott, der Herr: Siehe, ich will meine Hand gegen die Philister ausstrecken und die Kreter[b] ausrotten und den Überrest an der Meeresküste umbringen.
17 Ich will große Rache an ihnen üben durch grimmige Züchtigungen; und sie sollen erkennen, dass ich der Herr bin, wenn ich meine Rache über sie bringe!
Ezekiel 25
King James Version
25 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;
3 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
6 For thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;
7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
8 Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;
9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,
10 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.
11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
12 Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of 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 mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God.
15 Thus saith the Lord God; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

New King James Version
Proclamation Against Ammon
25 The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, (A)set your face (B)against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them. 3 Say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God: (C)“Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity, 4 indeed, therefore, I will deliver you as a possession to the [a]men of the East, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. 5 And I will make (D)Rabbah (E)a stable for camels and Ammon a resting place for flocks. (F)Then you shall know that I am the Lord.”
6 ‘For thus says the Lord God: “Because you (G)clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and (H)rejoiced in heart with all your disdain for the land of Israel, 7 indeed, therefore, I will (I)stretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations; I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from the countries; I will destroy you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Proclamation Against Moab
8 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because (J)Moab and (K)Seir say, ‘Look! The house of Judah is like all the nations,’ 9 therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and (L)Kirjathaim. 10 (M)To the men of the East I will give it as a possession, together with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites (N)may not be remembered among the nations. 11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the Lord.”
Proclamation Against Edom
12 ‘Thus says the Lord God: (O)“Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended by avenging itself on them,” 13 therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom, cut off man and beast from it, and make it desolate from Teman; [b]Dedan shall fall by the sword. 14 (P)I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, that they may do in Edom according to My anger and according to My fury; and they shall know My vengeance,” says the Lord God.
Proclamation Against Philistia
15 ‘Thus says the Lord God: (Q)“Because (R)the Philistines dealt vengefully and took vengeance with [c]a spiteful heart, to destroy because of the [d]old hatred,” 16 therefore thus says the Lord God: (S)“I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the (T)Cherethites (U)and destroy the remnant of the seacoast. 17 I will (V)execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; (W)and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay My vengeance upon them.” ’ ”

A Prophecy Against Ammon
25 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face against(A) the Ammonites(B) and prophesy against them.(C) 3 Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you said “Aha!(D)” over my sanctuary when it was desecrated(E) and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and over the people of Judah when they went into exile,(F) 4 therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East(G) as a possession. They will set up their camps(H) and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.(I) 5 I will turn Rabbah(J) into a pasture for camels and Ammon into a resting place for sheep.(K) Then you will know that I am the Lord. 6 For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you have clapped your hands(L) and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel,(M) 7 therefore I will stretch out my hand(N) against you and give you as plunder(O) to the nations. I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy(P) you, and you will know that I am the Lord.(Q)’”
A Prophecy Against Moab
8 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Moab(R) and Seir(S) said, “Look, Judah has become like all the other nations,” 9 therefore I will expose the flank of Moab, beginning at its frontier towns—Beth Jeshimoth(T), Baal Meon(U) and Kiriathaim(V)—the glory of that land. 10 I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered(W) among the nations; 11 and I will inflict punishment on Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”(X)
A Prophecy Against Edom
12 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Edom(Y) took revenge on Judah and became very guilty by doing so, 13 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand(Z) against Edom and kill both man and beast.(AA) I will lay it waste, and from Teman(AB) to Dedan(AC) they will fall by the sword.(AD) 14 I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger(AE) and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”(AF)
A Prophecy Against Philistia
15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because the Philistines(AG) acted in vengeance and took revenge with malice(AH) in their hearts, and with ancient hostility sought to destroy Judah, 16 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines,(AI) and I will wipe out the Kerethites(AJ) and destroy those remaining along the coast.(AK) 17 I will carry out great vengeance(AL) on them and punish(AM) them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord,(AN) when I take vengeance on them.(AO)’”
