Against Ammon (25:1-7)
The Ammonites were punished for gloating "maliciously" when Judah fell (Шаблон:Bibleref2), and the land would be occupied by nomadic Arab tribes ("sons of the east" or "people of the east" in Шаблон:Bibleverse; cf. Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn This is the longest oracle and the only one spoken in the second person form among the other prophecies in this chapter (cf. Шаблон:Bibleverse or 21:33-34 in Hebrew texts.Шаблон:Sfn
Verse 2
Cross reference: Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse
- "Son of man" (Hebrew: בן־אדם, ben adam): this phrase is used 93 times to address Ezekiel.Шаблон:Sfn
There are two parts to the oracle against Ammon: verses 3-5 and 6–7, both for the malicious glee when the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed and when the people of Judah went into exile.Шаблон:Sfn
Against Moab (25:8-11)
Moab is punished for gloating and stating that Judah is "like all other nations" (Шаблон:Bibleverse), which is considered an insult to Yahweh (cf. Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn Therefore, similar to Ammon, the land of Moab would be given to the "people of the east" (cf. Jeremiah 48).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Against Edom (25:12-14)
Edom's punishment is harsh and may be singled out for betraying the agreement with Judah to fight against Babylon (Шаблон:Bibleverse; committing "grievous offense" in Шаблон:Bibleverse), but instead became a Babylonian ally, taking Judean lands in the Negeb (cf. Шаблон:Bibleverse, Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn
Against Philistia (25:15-17)
The Philistines (in the land of Philistia) are said to have come originally from the islands of the Aegean Sea, including Crete (cf. Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse), so they are called Cherethites (interpreted as Cretans).Шаблон:Sfn They are punished because of their vicious treatment against Judah (cf. Jeremiah 47).Шаблон:Sfn
Verse 17
- I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes. And they shall know that I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon them.[2]
In the 1994 film Pulp Fiction, character Jules Winnfield ritually recites what is stated as Ezekiel 25:17 before he executes someone.[3] The passage is heard three times in the whole film. The final two sentences of Jules' speech are similar to the actual cited passage, which is based on the King James Version,[4] but the first two are fabricated from various biblical phrases.[5] The primary inspiration for the speech was the work of Japanese martial arts star Sonny Chiba, particularly in the film Karate Kiba (The Bodyguard; 1976).[6] In the 1980s television series Kage no Gundan (Shadow Warriors), Chiba's character would lecture the villain-of-the-week about how the world must be rid of evil before killing him.[7] A killer delivers a similar biblical rant in Modesty Blaise, a 1965 novel which is shown in two scenes of Pulp Fiction.[8]
