Ezekiel 25:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 25:2

Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites
Who were of the posterity of Lot, implacable enemies of the Jews; who hated their religion, and envied their wealth and happiness; against these the prophet is bid to "set his face"; to look that way where they lived, and to put on a frowning countenance, and a menacing aspect: "strengthen thy face", as the Septuagint and Arabic versions render it; look boldly at them: and prophesy against them;
deliver out the following prophecy concerning them.

Ezekiel 25:2 In-Context

1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

2 fili hominis pone faciem tuam contra filios Ammon et prophetabis de eis

3 et dices filiis Ammon audite verbum Domini Dei haec dicit Dominus Deus pro eo quod dixisti euge euge super sanctuarium meum quia pollutum est et super terram Israhel quoniam desolata est et super domum Iuda quoniam ducti sunt in captivitatem

4 idcirco ego tradam te filiis orientalibus in hereditatem et conlocabunt caulas suas in te et ponent in te tentoria sua ipsi comedent fruges tuas et ipsi bibent lac tuum

5 daboque Rabbath in habitaculum camelorum et filios Ammon in cubile pecorum et scietis quia ego Dominus
