Ezekiel Chapter 25
Ayo, the Lord hit me up again, saying,
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Son of man, gear up against the Ammonites and drop some prophecy on them;
Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;
Tell the Ammonites, "Yo, this is what the Lord God says; you were acting sus, saying Aha against my sanctuary when it got wrecked, and against Israel when it fell apart, and against Judah when they got snatched away;"
And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
So, peep this, I’m handing you over to the east for a takeover, and they’ll set up their spots and chill there: they’ll feast on your crops and sip your milk.
Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk. {men: Heb. children}
I’m flipping Rabbah into a camel hangout, and the Ammonites into a sheep lounge: you’ll know I’m the Lord.
And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I {am} the LORD.
No cap, the Lord God says; you’ve been clapping and stomping, vibing hard against Israel with all that hate;
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped {thine} hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
So, here’s the scoop, I’m gonna stretch out my hand on you and let the heathens have you; I’ll cut you off from the crew, and you’ll dip from the lands: I’ll wipe you out; then you’ll know I’m the Lord.
Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I {am} the LORD. {a spoil: or, meat}
The Lord God says; Moab and Seir be out here saying, "Judah's just like all the other nations;"
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah {is} like unto all the heathen;
So, check it, I’m gonna bust open Moab from the cities, from the boundary spots, the glory zones, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,
Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities {which are} on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim, {side...: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
To the east side with the Ammonites, and I’ll hand them a takeover so the Ammonites won't even be thought of among the nations.
Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations. {with...: or, against the children of Ammon}
I’m gonna drop some judgments on Moab; they’ll know I’m the Lord.
And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I {am} the LORD.
The Lord God says; Edom’s been savage against Judah, on that revenge grind;
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; {by...: Heb. by revenging revengement}
So, the Lord God says; I’m gonna stretch out my hand on Edom and cut off man and beast; I’ll turn it into a ghost town from Teman; and Dedan’s gonna fall by the sword.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. {they...: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
I’m gonna dish out my vengeance on Edom through my crew Israel: they’ll handle Edom with my anger and fury; they’ll know my vengeance, says the Lord God.
And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
The Lord God says; the Philistines have been on that revenge grind, acting all petty to destroy it from old beefs;
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy {it} for the old hatred; {for the...: or, with perpetual hatred}
So, the Lord God says; peep this, I’ll stretch out my hand on the Philistines, cut off the Cherethims, and wipe out the leftovers from the coast.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. {sea coast: or, haven of the sea}
I’m gonna dish out some serious vengeance with major rebukes; they’ll know I’m the Lord when I drop my vengeance on them.
And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I {am} the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them. {great vengeance: Heb. great vengeances}
