Ezekiel 25:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 25:5

3 Say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God: ^a“Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity,

4 indeed, therefore, I will deliver you as a possession to the¹ men of the East, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.

5 And I will make ^aRabbah ^ba stable for camels and Ammon a resting place for flocks. ^cThen you shall know that I am the Lord.”

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.”
