25:1  The Lord God said:
25:2  Ezekiel, son of man, condemn the people of Ammon
25:3  and tell them: You celebrated when my temple was destroyed, when Israel was defeated, and when my people were taken away as prisoners.
25:4  Now I am going to let you be conquered by tribes from the eastern desert. They will set up their camps in your land and eat your fruit and drink your milk.
25:5  Your capital city of Rabbah will be nothing but pastureland for camels, and the rest of the country will be pastures for sheep. Then you will know that I am the Lord God.
25:6  You hated Israel so much that you clapped and shouted and celebrated.
25:7  And so I will hand you over to enemies who will rob you. I will completely destroy you. There won't be enough of your people left to be a nation ever again, and you will know that I, the Lord, have done these things.
25:8  The Lord God said, “The people of Moab thought Judah was no different from any other nation.
25:9  So I will let Moab's fortress towns along its border be attacked, including Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim.
25:10  The same eastern desert tribes that invade Ammon will invade Moab, and just as Ammon will be forgotten forever,
25:11  Moab will be punished. Then the people there will know that I am the Lord.”
25:12  The Lord God then said, “The people of Edom are guilty of taking revenge on Judah.
25:13  So I will punish Edom by killing all its people and livestock. It will be an empty wasteland all the way from Teman to Dedan.
25:14  I will send my own people to take revenge on the Edomites by making them feel my fierce anger. And when I punish them, they will know that I am the Lord God.”
25:15  The Lord God said, “The cruel Philistines have taken revenge on their enemies over and over and have tried to destroy them.
25:16  Now it's my turn to treat the Philistines as my enemies and to kill everyone living in their towns along the seacoast.
25:17  In my fierce anger, I will take revenge on them. And when I punish them, they will know that I am the Lord.”
