Ezekiel 25:8-17

Lord YAHWEH says: “Moab and Seir have said that the people of Judah are no different from any other nation. Therefore, behold! I will let your enemies clear out the cities that defend the border of Moab—your fine cities, jewels of your land—Beth Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim. To the same eastern desert tribes that invade Ammon, I will hand over Moab so that Ammon will be forgotten forever as a nation. I will carry out my punishment of Moab, and then they will know that I am YAHWEH.” Lord YAHWEH says: “The people of Edom took revenge on the people of Judah and sinned greatly in doing so. Therefore, Lord YAHWEH says to you: ‘My hand will be against you, and I will slaughter every person and animal living among you. There will be no one left anywhere in the land, from Teman to Dedan, all the people will fall by the sword! I will use my people Israel to take my vengeance on Edom. My people will treat Edom as my furious anger demands, and they will realize that this is my vengeance! I, Lord YAHWEH, have spoken.’ ” Lord YAHWEH says, “The Philistines took revenge on the people of Judah, with deep hatred. They did their best to destroy them because of their long-standing hatred. Therefore, Lord YAHWEH says to you: My hand will be against the Philistines; I will exterminate the Cherethite tribe and destroy the rest of the coastal peoples. I will execute frightful acts of vengeance and punish them in my wrath! And then they will realize that I, YAHWEH, exacted my vengeance on them.”
