Ezekiel 25:4
"Tell the children of Ammon, ‘Hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD says, “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 captivity,"
Key Reflection
The children of Ammon are being addressed directly by Ezekiel to warn them of divine judgment. In first-century Israel, it was common for nations to rejoice at the misfortunes of their enemies, and the Ammonites had done just that—rejoicing when God’s temple in Jerusalem was profaned, the land of Israel lay desolate, and the house of Judah faced captivity. This verse highlights how God holds his people accountable not only for their own actions but also for rejoicing over the calamities of others.
