Ezekiel 25:8
Compare all
6 ‘For thus says the Lord God: “Because you aclapped your hands, stamped your feet, and brejoiced in heart with all your disdain for the land of Israel,  
7 indeed, therefore, I will astretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations; I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from the countries; I will destroy you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”  

Proclamation Against Moab

8 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because aMoab and bSeir say, ‘Look! The house of Judah is like all the nations,’  
9 therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and aKirjathaim.  
10 aTo the men of the East I will give it as a possession, together with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites bmay not be remembered among the nations.  
11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the Lord.”

Proclamation Against Edom

12 ‘Thus says the Lord God: a“Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended by avenging itself on them,”  
13 therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom, cut off man and beast from it, and make it desolate from Teman; Dedan shall fall by the sword.

Ezekiel 25:1-17

Judgments against the Ammonites. (1-7) Against the Moabites, Edomites, and Philistines. (8-17)

1-7. It is wicked to be glad at the calamities of any, especially of God's people; it is a sin for which he will surely reckon. God will make it appear that he is the God of Israel, though he suffers them for a time to be captives in Babylon. It is better to know Him, and to be poor, than to be rich and ignorant of him.

Verses 8-17 Though one event seem to the righteous and wicked, it is vastly different. Those who glory in any other defence and protection than the Divine power, providence, and promise, will, sooner or later, be ashamed of their glorying. Those who will not leave it to God to take vengeance for them, may expect that he will take vengeance on them. The equity of the Lord's judgments is to be observed, when he not only avenges injuries upon those that did them, but by those against whom they were done. Those who treasure up old hatred, and watch for the opportunity of manifesting it, are treasuring up for themselves wrath against the day of wrath.
