Ezekiel 25:1-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

Judgment on Gentile Nations—Ammon

25 And the word of the Lord came to me saying, ² “Son of man, set your face toward the ^(A)sons of Ammon and prophesy against them, ³ and say to the sons of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord ^[a]God! Thus says the Lord God, “Because you said, ‘^(B)Aha!’ against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into exile, ⁴ therefore, behold, I am going to give you to the ^(C)sons of the east for a possession, and they will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will ^(D)eat your fruit and drink your milk. ⁵ I will make ^(E)Rabbah a pasture for camels and the sons of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Thus you will know that I am the Lord.” ⁶ For thus says the Lord God, “Because you have ^(F)clapped your hands and stamped your feet and ^(G)rejoiced with all the scorn of your soul against the land of Israel, ⁷ therefore, behold, I have ^(H)stretched out My hand against you and I will give you for ^(I)spoil to the nations. And I will ^(J)cut you off from the peoples and ^(K)make you perish from the lands; I will destroy you. Thus you will ^(L)know that I am the Lord.”
