Ezekiel 25:7-17

7 therefore, behold, I have ¹stretched out My hand against you and I will give you for ²spoil to the nations. And I will ³cut you off from the peoples and ⁴make you perish from the lands; I will destroy you. Thus you will ⁵know that I am the LORD."

Moab

8 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because ⁶Moab and Seir say, 'Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,'

9 therefore, behold, I am going to deprive the flank of Moab of its cities, of its cities which are on its frontiers, the glory of the land, ⁷Beth-jeshimoth, ⁸Baal-meon and ⁹Kiriathaim,

10 and I will give it for a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the ¹⁰sons of the east, so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.

11 "Thus I will execute judgments on Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD."

Edom

12 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because ¹¹Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred grievous guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,"

13 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "I will also ¹²stretch out My hand against Edom and ¹³cut off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste; from ¹⁴Teman even to ¹⁵Dedan they will fall by the sword.

14 "¹⁶I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom ¹⁷according to My anger and according to My wrath; thus they will know My vengeance," declares the Lord GOD.

Philistia

15 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because the Philistines have acted in ¹⁸revenge and have taken vengeance with scorn of soul to destroy with everlasting enmity,"

16 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will ¹⁹stretch out My hand against the Philistines, even cut off the ²⁰Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast *.

17 "I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will ²¹know that I am the LORD when I lay My vengeance on them.""'
