Ezekiel 25:1-4

A Prophecy Against Ammon

1 The word of the LORD came to me:

2 “Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them.

3 Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Sovereign LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you said “Aha!” over my sanctuary when it was desecrated and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and over the people of Judah when they went into exile,

4 therefore I am going to give you to the people of the East as a possession. They will set up their camps and pitch their tents among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk.
