YEḤEZQĔL 25

1 And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, turn your face against the Ammonites, and naḇa against them.

3 “And you shall say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄! Thus said the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against My Miqdash when it was profaned, and against the land of Yisra’ĕl when it was ruined, and against the house of Yahuḏah when they went into exile,

4 therefore, see, I am giving you as a possession to the men of the East, and they shall put their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you – they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.

5 And I shall make Rabbah a pasture for camels and Ammon a resting place for flocks. And you shall know that I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.”

6 ‘For this is what the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said, “Because you clapped your hands, and you stamped your feet, and rejoiced with all the scorn of your being against the land of Yisra’ĕl,

7 therefore see, I Myself shall stretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations. And I shall cut you off from the peoples, and make you perish from the lands. I shall destroy you, and you shall know that I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.”

8 ‘This is what the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said, “Because Mo’aḇ and Sĕ’ir say, ‘See, the house of Yahuḏah is like all the gentiles,’

9 therefore, see, I am opening the flank of Mo’aḇ on the side of the cities, on the side of his cities on its frontiers, the splendour of the land, Bĕyth Yeshimoth, Ba’al Me’on, and Qiryathayim,

10 and I shall give it, together with the Ammonites, as a possession to the men of the East, so that the Ammonites are no more remembered among the nations.

11 “Also on Mo’aḇ I execute judgments, and they shall know that I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.”

12 ‘Thus said the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “Because of what Eḏom has done against the house of Yahuḏah by taking vengeance, so that they became very guilty, and they have taken vengeance on them,”

13 therefore thus said the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “I shall stretch out My hand against Eḏom, and I shall cut off man and beast from it and lay it waste – from Tĕman even to Deḏaneh they shall fall by the sword.

14 “And I shall lay My vengeance on Eḏom by the hand of My people Yisra’ĕl. And they shall do in Eḏom according to My displeasure and according to My wrath. So they shall know My vengeance,” declares the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

15 ‘Thus said the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “Because the Pelishtites have acted in vengeance, and took vengeance with scorn in being, to destroy with lasting enmity,”

16 therefore thus said the Aḏon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “See, I am stretching out My hand against the Pelishtites, and I shall cut off the Kerĕthites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast,

17 and execute great vengeance on them with raging reproofs. And they shall know that I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, when lay My vengeance upon them.” ’ ”
