Ezekiel 25 The worde of the Lord came vnto me, sayenge:

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The worde of the Lord came vnto me, sayenge: ² Thou sonne of man, set thy face agaynst the Ammonytes, prophecye vpon them, ³ and saye vnto the Ammonytes: heare the worde of the Lord God. Thus sayeth the Lord God: For so moch as thou speakest ouer my sanctuary. A, ha, I trowe it be nowe suspended: & ouer the land of Israel, I trowe it be now desolat, yee, & ouer the house of Iuda, I trowe they be now led a waye presonners: ⁴ Behold, I will delyuer the to the people of the east, that they maye haue the in possession: these shall set theyr castels and houses in the. They shall eate thy frute, & dryncke vp thy milcke. ⁵ As for Rabath, I will make of it a stal for camels, and of Ammon a shepefolde: and ye shall knowe that I am the Lorde. ⁶ For thus sayeth the Lord God: In so moch as thou hast clapped with thyne handes, & stamped with thy fete, yee, reioysed in thyne herte ouer the lande of Israel with despite: ⁷ beholde, I will stretch out myne hande ouer the also, and delyuer the, to be spoyled of the Heathen, and rote the out from amonge the people, and cause the to be destroyed oute of all landes: yee, I will make the to be layed waste, that thou mayest knowe, that I am the Lorde. ⁸ Thus sayeth the Lord God: For so moch as Moab & Seir do saye: As for the house of Iuda, it is but lyke as all other Gentyles be: ⁹ Therfore beholde, I will open the syde of Moab, & take awaye theyr strength, their cyties & chefe coastes of theyr lande, which are the pleasures of the countre. As namely. Bethiesimoth, Baalmeon and Cariathaim: ¹⁰ these will I open vnto them of the east, that they maye fall vpon the Ammonites: & will geue it them in possession: so that the Ammonites shall nomore be had in remembraunce amonge the Heathen ¹¹ Euen thus will I punysh Moab also, that they maye know, how that I am the Lorde. ¹² Moreouer, thus sayeth the Lord God: Because that Edom hath auenged and eased hym selfe vpon the house of Iuda, and haue done great offence & auenged him selfe vpon them ¹³ therfore, thus sayeth the Lord: I will reach out myne hande vpon Edom, & take awaye man & beast out of it. From Theman vnto Dedan will I make it desolate, they shall be slayne wt the swerde. ¹⁴ Thorow my people, of Israel will I auenge me agayne vpon Edom they shall handle him, according to my wrath and indygnacyon, so that they shall knowe my vengeaunce, sayeth the Lorde God. ¹⁵ Thus sayeth the Lord God: For so moch as the Philistines haue done this: namely taken vengeaunce with despytefull stomackes, and of an olde euell will set them selues to destroye. ¹⁶ Therfore, thus sayeth the Lord God: Behold, I will stretch out myne hand ouer the Philistynes, & destroye the destroyer, and cause all the remnaunt of the see coast, to perysh. ¹⁷ A great vengeaunce wyll I take vpon them, and punysh them cruelly: that they maye knowe, how that I am the Lord, which haue auenged me of them.
