Ezekiel 25:1

CHAPTER XXV

This chapter contains threatenings of the heavy judgments of

God against the Ammonites, 1-7;

Moabites, 8-11;

Edomites, 12-14;

and Philistines, 15-17;

on account of their hatred to his people, and their insulting

them in the time of their distress. These prophecies were

fulfilled by the instrumentality of Nebuchadnezzar, about five

years after the destruction of Jerusalem. The same events were

predicted by several of the other prophets, as may be seen from

the citation of parallel texts in the margin.
