Ezekiel 25:1 In-Context

1 The LORD's word came to me:
2 Human one, face the Ammonites and prophesy against them.
3 Say to the Ammonites: Hear the LORD God's word! The LORD God proclaims: You laughed when my sanctuary was degraded, when Israel's fertile land was laid waste, and when the house of Judah went into exile;
