Ezequiel 25

Versión Biblia Libre (VBL) · Español

1 Me llegó un mensaje del Señor que decía: 2 “Hijo de hombre, mira hacia los amonitas y profetiza contra ellos. 3 Dile a los amonitas que escuchen el mensaje del Señor Dios, porque esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Porque dijisteis: ‘¡Oh, qué bien!’ cuando mi santuario fue ensuciado, cuando el país de Israel se convirtió en un páramo y cuando el pueblo de Judá fue llevado al exilio, 4 por eso os someteré a los pueblos de Oriente. Ellos acamparán y levantarán sus tiendas en el mismo lugar donde tú vives. Comerán tus frutos y beberán tu leche. 5 Haré de Rabá un pasto para camellos, y de Amón un corral para ovejas. Entonces sabrás que yo soy el Señor. 6 “Porque esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Como ustedes aplaudieron y zapatearon en una celebración de odio por lo que le pasó a Israel, 7 por eso los atacaré y los entregaré para que sean saqueados por otras naciones. Te aniquilaré tan completamente que ya no existirás como nación. Te destruiré, y entonces sabrás que yo soy el Señor. 8 “Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Porque la gente de Moab y de Seír dijo: ‘Miren, la gente de Judá es igual a todos los demás’, 9 por eso abriré la frontera de Moab para que la ataquen, incluyendo a Bet-Jesimot, Baal-Meón y Quiriatim, las ciudades famosas del país. 10 Entregaré a Moab a los pueblos del Oriente para que lo gobiernen, de modo que deje de existir como nación, al igual que los amonitas. 11 Así es como voy a castigar a los moabitas, y sabrán que yo soy el Señor. 12 “Esto es lo que dice el Señor: Debido a que Edom cometió graves pecados al vengarse con saña del pueblo de Judá, 13 por eso el Señor Dios dice: Voy a llegar a atacar a Edom y a destruir a toda su gente y sus animales. La convertiré en un páramo. Desde Temán, en el norte, hasta Dedán, en el sur, morirán a espada. 14 Me vengaré de los edomitas por medio de mi pueblo Israel. Ellos se ocuparán de los edomitas para que experimenten mi ira. Entonces sabrán cómo es mi venganza, declara el Señor Dios. 15 “Esto es lo que dice el Señor Dios: Porque los filisteos en su odio se vengaron repetidamente de Judá, tratando de destruir al pueblo, 16 por eso dice el Señor Dios: ¡Cuidado! Voy a llegar a atacar a los filisteos, y eliminaré a los queretanos y destruiré a los que queden en la costa. 17 Mi venganza contra ellos será severa cuando los castigue en mi ira. Entonces sabrán que yo soy el Señor, cuando experimenten mi ira”.

Ezequiel 25:1

Introduction

This chapter contains threatenings of the heavy judgments of God against the Ammonites, Eze 25:1-7; Moabites, Eze 25:8-11; Edomites, Eze 25:12-14; and Philistines, Eze 25:15-17; 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.

Verse 1

The word of the Lord - The chronological order of this chapter is after Eze 33:21, etc. See Abp. Newcome.

Ezequiel 25:2-3

Verse 2

Set thy face against the Ammonites - We have already seen, Eze 21:19, etc., that when Nebuchadnezzar left Babylon he was in doubt whether he should besiege Riblath, the capital of the Ammonites, or Jerusalem, the capital of the Jews, first: and having used his divination. he was determined, by the result, to attack Jerusalem the first. He did so and the Ammonites, seeing the success of his arms, made friends with him, and exulted in the ruin of the Jews. God resents this, and predicts their downfall with that of Edom, Moab, and the Philistines. The fulfillment of this prediction is not noted in Scripture: but Josephus tells us, that about five years after the taking of Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar turned his arms against the Ammonites and Moabites, and afterwards against Egypt; and having subdued those nations, he returned to Babylon. Joseph. Antiq., 50 x., c. 2. Berosus states, as quoted by Josephus, contra App., that Nebuchadnezzar subdued Syria, Arabia, Phoenicia, and Egypt: and consequently, that he had brought under his dominion the Ammonites, Moabites, and Idumeans, who were included among the Philistines. See Calmet.

Ezequiel 25:4-6

Verse 4

Will deliver thee to the men of the east - Probably the Scenite Arabs, Ishmaelites, and people of Kedar, who seized upon the provinces of the vanquished Ammonites, etc. The following description suits this people only, living on fruits, the milk of their flocks, using camels, etc. Some think the people of the east mean the Chaldeans.

Ezequiel 25:7

Verse 7

I will cause thee to perish - Except in history, the name of the Ammonites does not now exist.

Ezequiel 25:8

Verse 8

Moab and Seir do say - Seir means the Idumeans. It appears that both these, with the Ammonites, had made a league with Zedekiah, Jer 27:3, which they did not keep; and it is supposed that they even joined with the Chaldeans.

Ezequiel 25:9

Verse 9

I will open the side - קתף ketheph, the shoulder, the strongest frontier place. Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim were strong frontier towns of Moab.

Ezequiel 25:10-11

Verse 10

That the Ammonites - The Syriac has, "That Rabbah of the sons of Ammon be not remembered."

Ezequiel 25:12

Verse 12

Because that Edom hath dealt - The Edomites were the most inveterate enemies of the Jews from the very earliest times, and ever did all that they could to annoy them.

Ezequiel 25:13

Verse 13

I will make it desolate from Teman - Teman and Dedan were both cities of the Moabites, and apparently at each extremity of the land.

Ezequiel 25:14

Verse 14

I will lay my vengeance upon Edom - God will not allow men to insult those whom he has cast down. His judgment is sufficient; to add more is an insult to God.

By the hand of may people Israel - This was fulfilled by the Maccabees, who not only defeated them and brought them under complete subjection, but obliged them to receive circumcision, Joseph. Antiq. 50 xiii., c. 17; 1 Maccabees 5:65; 2 Maccabees 10:16.

Ezequiel 25:15-17

Verse 15

Because the Philistines - They were as inimical to the Jews as the Ammonites, etc., were. Nebuchadnezzar punished them because they had assisted the Tyrians during the time he was besieging their city.

I will cut of the Cherethims - See the note on 2Sam 8:18.

The remnant of the sea coasts - The different seignories of the Philistines inhabited the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, from Judea to Egypt. For other matters relative to these prophecies, see Jer 47:4 (note).
