Read in context

Ezekiel 25:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them.

3 Tell the Ammonites to hear the word of the Lord GOD, for this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you exclaimed, “Aha!” when My sanctuary was profaned, when the land of Israel was laid waste, and when the house of Judah went into exile,

4 therefore I will indeed give you as a possession to the people of the East. They will set up their camps and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.
