Strongs On/Off
Context
25:6 For this is what the sovereign Lord says : Because you clapped your hands , stamped your feet , and rejoiced with intense scorn over the land of Israel ,
25:7 take note, I have stretched out my hand against you, and I will hand you over as plunder to the nations . I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands . I will destroy you; then you will know that I am the Lord .’”
A Prophecy Against Moab
25:8 “This is what the sovereign Lord says : ‘Moab and Seir say , “Look , the house of Judah is like all the other nations .”
25:9 So look , I am about to open up Moab’s flank , eliminating the cities , including its frontier cities , the beauty of the land – Beth Jeshimoth , Baal Meon , and Kiriathaim .
25:10 I will hand it over , along with the Ammonites , to the tribes of the east , so that the Ammonites will no longer be remembered among the nations .
25:11 I will execute judgments against Moab . Then they will know that I am the Lord .’”
A Prophecy Against Edom
25:12 “This is what the sovereign Lord says : ‘Edom has taken vengeance against the house of Judah ; they have made themselves fully culpable by taking vengeance on them.
25:13 So this is what the sovereign Lord says : I will stretch out my hand against Edom , and I will kill the people and animals within her, and I will make her desolate ; from Teman to Dedan they will die by the sword .
25:14 I will exact my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel . They will carry out in Edom my anger and rage ; they will experience my vengeance , declares the sovereign Lord .’”
A Prophecy Against Philistia
25:15 “This is what the sovereign Lord says : ‘The Philistines have exacted merciless revenge , showing intense scorn in their effort to destroy Judah with unrelenting hostility .
25:16 So this is what the sovereign Lord says : Take note, I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines . I will kill the Cherethites and destroy those who remain on the seacoast .
25:17 I will exact great vengeance upon them with angry rebukes . Then they will know that I am the Lord , when I exact my vengeance upon them.’”
