8 'Thus says the Lord GOD , "Because Moab and Seir say , 'Behold , the house of Judah is like all the nations ,' 9 therefore , behold , I am going to deprive the flank of Moab of its cities , of its cities which are on its frontiers , the glory of the land , Beth-jeshimoth , Baal-meon and Kiriathaim , 10 and I will give it for a possession along with the sons of Ammon to the sons of the east , so that the sons of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations . 11 "Thus I will execute judgments on Moab , and they will know that I am the Lord ."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 25:8-11
Commentary on Ezekiel 25:8-17
(Read Ezekiel 25:8-17)
Though one event seem to the righteous and wicked, it is vastly different. Those who glory in any other defence and protection than the Divine power, providence, and promise, will, sooner or later, be ashamed of their glorying. Those who will not leave it to God to take vengeance for them, may expect that he will take vengeance on them. The equity of the Lord's judgments is to be observed, when he not only avenges injuries upon those that did them, but by those against whom they were done. Those who treasure up old hatred, and watch for the opportunity of manifesting it, are treasuring up for themselves wrath against the day of wrath.
