A Prophecy against Ammon

⁵I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels, and Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’⁶For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you clapped your hands and stomped your feet and rejoiced over the land of Israel with a heart full of contempt,⁷therefore I will indeed stretch out My hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD.’

Summary

In Ezekiel 25:6, the prophet Ezekiel delivers a message from the Lord against the Ammonites, declaring that because they rejoiced over the desolation of God's people, they would themselves be desolated. This verse serves as a reminder of God's justice and judgment upon those who take pleasure in the downfall of others. It also underscores the principle of reaping what one sows, as the Ammonites' actions led to their own destruction. Ultimately, Ezekiel 25:6 highlights the consequences of gloating over the misfortune of God's chosen people and the importance of showing compassion and empathy towards others.

Stamping with the foot means dancing for joy.
