Ezekiel 25:6 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Ezekiel 25:6

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.”

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.
