Antiguo Testamento

Ezekiel — Capítulo 25

The prophet Ezekiel’s book contains strange visions, images, and messages that seem far removed from contemporary life. Yet its message remains very relevant: God will purify his people and live among them forever. Even during the darkest days, God insisted that he would restore his people. This message offered hope to the exiled people of Judah and provides inspiration to all who put their tru…

1Vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:

2Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro hacia los hijos de Amón, y profetiza contra ellos.

3Y dirás a los hijos de Amón: Oíd palabra de Jehová el Señor. Así dice Jehová el Señor: Por cuanto dijiste: ¡Ea, bien!, cuando mi santuario era profanado, y la tierra de Israel era asolada, y llevada en cautiverio la casa de Judá;

4por tanto, he aquí yo te entrego por heredad a los orientales, y pondrán en ti sus apriscos y plantarán en ti sus tiendas; ellos comerán tus sementeras, y beberán tu leche.

5Y pondré a Rabá por habitación de camellos, y a los hijos de Amón por majada de ovejas; y sabréis que yo soy Jehová.

6Porque así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Por cuanto batiste tus manos, y golpeaste con tu pie, y te gozaste en el alma con todo tu menosprecio para la tierra de Israel,

7por tanto, he aquí yo extenderé mi mano contra ti, y te entregaré a las naciones para ser saqueada; te cortaré de entre los pueblos, y te destruiré de entre las tierras; te exterminaré, y sabrás que yo soy Jehová.

8Así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Por cuanto dijo Moab y Seir: He aquí la casa de Judá es como todas las naciones;

9por tanto, he aquí yo abro el lado de Moab desde las ciudades, desde sus ciudades que están en su confín, las tierras deseables de Bet-jesimot, Baal-meón y Quiriataim,

10a los hijos del oriente contra los hijos de Amón; y la entregaré por heredad, para que no haya más memoria de los hijos de Amón entre las naciones.

11También en Moab haré juicios, y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.

12Así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Por lo que hizo Edom, tomando venganza de la casa de Judá, pues delinquieron en extremo, y se vengaron de ellos;

13por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Yo también extenderé mi mano sobre Edom, y cortaré de ella hombres y bestias, y la asolaré; desde Temán hasta Dedán caerán a espada.

14Y pondré mi venganza contra Edom en manos de mi pueblo Israel, y harán en Edom según mi enojo y conforme a mi ira; y conocerán mi venganza, dice Jehová el Señor.

15Así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Por lo que hicieron los filisteos con venganza, cuando se vengaron con despecho de ánimo, destruyendo por antiguas enemistades;

16por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí yo extiendo mi mano contra los filisteos, y cortaré a los cereteos, y destruiré el resto que queda en la costa del mar.

17Y haré en ellos grandes venganzas con reprensiones de ira; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová, cuando haga mi venganza en ellos.

25:1–32:32 This section contains a series of oracles against surrounding nations. There are six shorter oracles against Judah’s immediate neighbors, in clockwise geographical order, followed by a climactic seventh oracle against Egypt (chs 30–32). Through their experience of God’s judgment, the nations would recognize God’s sovereignty over all things. The nations might be used to bring about God’s judgment of his people, but that would not exempt them from judgment. • One of the key purposes of these oracles against the nations was to affirm that the negative side of God’s covenant with Abraham (“I will . . . curse those who treat you with contempt,” Gen 12:3) was in force. No one can assault God’s people and escape unscathed, even when God’s people are themselves under his judgment.

25:3-7 Because the Ammonites rejoiced over Judah’s downfall and celebrated the destruction of Israel’s Temple, they would experience invasion and destruction, as the prophet had already warned (21:28-32). Others would eat the Ammonites’ produce and their people would be exterminated, just as had happened to Judah. The Ammonites’ gods would be unable to save them from the Lord’s wrath, and they would know that the Lord is the true God.

25:8-11 The people of Moab thought that they could attack Judah with impunity, as though it were just like all the other nations. This was not true—even though Judah had been acting as though it were (see 20:32)—because Judah had a covenant with God, and God would not ultimately reject Judah. Instead, like Ammon, Moab would be removed from the register of the nations and left perpetually desolate.

25:12-14 Ammon and Moab gloated at Judah’s downfall, but Edom actively participated in it (see 35:5; Obad 1). • avenging: The people of Edom cut down fugitives and handed over survivors in aid of the Babylonians (Obad 1:11-14). They were opportunists, settling old scores that dated back to the ancient conflict between Jacob and Esau (Gen 27:41); they gained what they could for themselves out of Judah’s difficulties. In return, the Lord would desolate their land.

25:15-17 The Philistines also had a long-standing contempt for Judah. Their crimes are not specified, but they did not escape the Lord’s notice, and he would return vengeance for vengeance. Then they, too, would recognize the Lord’s sovereign power. • The Kerethites were a Philistine tribe (see 1 Sam 30:14).
