251 And the word of the Lord came to me saying , 2 "Son of man , set your face toward the sons of Ammon and prophesy against them, 3 and say to the sons of Ammon , 'Hear the word of the Lord GOD ! Thus says the Lord GOD , "Because you said , ' Aha !' against My sanctuary when it was profaned , and against the land of Israel when it was made desolate , and against the house of Judah when they went into exile , 4 therefore , behold , I am going to give you to the sons of the east for a possession , and they will set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they will eat your fruit and drink your milk . 5 "I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and the sons of Ammon a resting place for flocks . Thus you will know that I am the Lord ." 6 'For thus says the Lord GOD , "Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet and rejoiced with all the scorn of your soul against the land of Israel , 7 therefore , behold , I have stretched out My hand against you and I will give you for spoil to the nations . And I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands ; I will destroy you. Thus you will know that I am the Lord ."

Commentary on Ezekiel 25:1-7
(Read Ezekiel 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 surely 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.
