1 The worde of the Lord againſt Ammon, which reioyced at the fall of Ieruſalém. 8 Againſt Moáb and Seír, Idumea and the Philiſtims.

1.THe worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, ſaying,

2.Sonne of man, ſet thy face againſt y^e Ammonites, and prophecie againſt them,

3.And ſay vnto the Ammonites, Heare the worde of the Lord God, Thus ſaith the Lord God, Becauſe thou ſaydeſt, ^aHa, ha, againſt my Sanctuarie, when it was polluted, and againſt the land of Iſraél, when it was deſolate, and againſt the houſe of Iudáh, when they went into captiuitie,

4.Beholde, therefore I wil deliuer thee to y^e ^bmẽ of the Eaſt for a poſſeſsion, and they ſhal ſet their ^cpalaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they ſhal eat thy frute, and they ſhal drinke thy milke.

5.And I wil make ^dRabbáh a dwelling place for camels, and the Ammonites a ſhepecote, & ye ſhal knowe that I am the Lord.

6.For thus ſaith the Lord God, Becauſe thou haſt clapped the hands, and ſtamped with the fete, and reioyced in heart with all thy deſpite againſt the land of Iſraél,

7.Beholde, therefore I wil ſtretche out mine hand vpon thee, and wil deliuer thee to be ſpoiled of the heathen, & I wil roote thee out from the people, and I wil cauſe thee to be deſtroyed out of the countreis & I wil deſtroye thee, & thou ſhalt knowe that I am the Lord.

8.Thus ſaith the Lord God, Becauſe that Moáb and Seír do ſay, Beholde, the houſe of Iudáh is like vnto all the heathen,

9.Therefore, beholde, I wil open the ſide of Moáb, euen of the cities ^eof his cities, I ſay, in his frontiers with the pleaſant countrey, Beth-ieſhimóth, Báal-meon, and Kariatháim.

10.I wil call the men of the Eaſt againſt the Ammonites, and wil giue them in poſſeſſion, ſo that the Ammonites ſhal no more be remembred among the nations,

11.And I wil execute iudgements vpon Moáb, & thei ſhal knowe y^t I am the Lord.

12.¶ Thus ſaith the Lord God, Becauſe that Edóm hathe done euil by taking vengeance vpõ the houſe of Iudáh, and hathe cõmitted great offence, and reuenged him ſelf vpon them,

13.Therefore thus ſaith the Lord God, I wil alſo ſtretche out mine hand vpon Edóm, and deſtroye man, and beaſt out of it, and I wil make it deſolate frõ Temán, and they of Dedán ſhal fall by y^e ſworde.

14.And I wil execute my vengeance vpon Edóm by the hand of my people Iſraél, & they ſhal do in Edóm according to mine angre, and according to mine indignatiõ, and they ſhal knowe my vengeance, ſaith the Lord God.

15.Thus ſaith the Lord God, Becauſe the Philiſtims haue executed vengeance, and reuẽged thẽ ſelues with a deſpiteful heart, to deſtroye it for the olde hatred,

16.Therefore thus ſaith y^e Lord God, Beholde, I wil ſtretche out mine hãd vpon y^e Philiſtims, & I wil cut of the ^fCherethims, & deſtroye the remnãnt of the ſea coaſt.

17.And I wil execute great vengeace vpon the with rebukes of mine indignation, & thei ſhal knowe that I am the Lord, when I ſhal laie my vengeance vpon them.

Ezekiel 25
