SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:2
Hijo de hombre, pon tu rostro hacia los hijos de Amón, y profetiza sobre ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 25:2
Verse 2. Set thy face against the Ammonites] We have already seen, chap. xxi. 19, &c., 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., l. x., c. ii. 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Judgments against the Ammonites. (Ezek. 25:1-7) Against the Moabites Edomites, and Philistines. (Ezek. 25:8-17) Ezek. 25:1-7. It is wicked to be glad at the calamities of any especially of God's people; it is a sin for which he will surel reckon. God will make it appear that he is the God of Israel, though he suffers them for a time to be captives in Babylon. It is better to know Him, and to be poor, than to be rich and ignorant of him.
Ezek. 25:8-17 Though one event seem to the righteous and wicked, it is vastly different. Those who glory in any other defence and protectio 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 of them. The equity of the Lord's judgments is to be observed, when he no only avenges injuries upon those that did them, but by those agains whom they were done. Those who treasure up old hatred, and watch for the opportunity of manifesting it, are treasuring up for themselve wrath against the day of wrath __________________________________________________________________
