Ezekiel 25:8-17

Ezekiel 25:8-17 NCV

“This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Moab and Edom say, “The people of Judah are like all the other nations.” So I am going to take away the cities that protect Moab’s borders, the best cities in that land: Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim. Then I will give Moab, along with the Ammonites, to the people of the East as their possession. Then, along with the Ammonites, Moab will not be a nation anymore. So I will punish the people of Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD.’ “This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Edom took revenge on the people of Judah, and the Edomites became guilty because of it. So this is what the Lord GOD says: I will use my power against Edom, killing every human and animal in it. And I will destroy Edom all the way from Teman to Dedan as they die in battle. I will use my people Israel to take revenge on Edom. So the Israelites will do to Edom what my hot anger demands. Then the Edomites will know what my revenge feels like, says the Lord GOD.’ “This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The Philistines have taken revenge with hateful hearts. Because of their strong hatred, they have tried to destroy Judah. So this is what the Lord GOD says: I will use my power against the Philistines. I will kill the Kerethites, and I will destroy those people still alive on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. I will punish them in my anger and do great acts of revenge to them. They will know that I am the LORD when I take revenge on them.’ ”
