Ezekiel 25:8-17

Prophecy Against Moab and Seir

8 "Thus says the Lord GOD: Because ¹Moab and ²Seir^[a] said, 'Behold, the ³house of Judah is like all the other nations,'

9 therefore ⁴I will lay open the flank of Moab from the cities, from its cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, ⁵Beth-jeshimoth, ⁶Baal-meon, and ⁷Kiriathaim.

10 I will give it ⁸along with the Ammonites ⁹to the people of the East as a possession, ¹⁰that the Ammonites may be remembered no more among the nations,

11 ¹¹and I will execute judgments upon Moab. ¹²Then they will know that I am the LORD.

Prophecy Against Edom

12 "Thus says the Lord GOD: Because ¹³Edom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended ¹⁴in taking vengeance on them,

13 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, ¹⁵I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast. And I will make it desolate; from ¹⁶Teman even to ¹⁷Dedan they shall fall by the sword.

14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom ¹⁸by the hand of my people Israel, and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath, and ¹⁹they shall know my vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.

Prophecy Against Philistia

15 "Thus says the Lord GOD: Because ²⁰the Philistines ²¹acted revengefully and took vengeance ²²with malice of soul to destroy in never-ending enmity,

16 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, ²³Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off ²⁴the Cherethites and destroy the rest of the seacoast.

17 I will execute great vengeance on them ²⁵with wrathful rebukes. ²⁶Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance upon them."
