In Ezekiel 25, God promised judgment on the Ammonites. In verses 3-4 He tells Ezekiel, “Say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord God: Thus says the Lord God, Because you said, ‘Aha!’ over my sanctuary when it was profaned, and over the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and over the house of Judah when they went into exile, therefore behold, I am handing you over to the people of the East for a possession, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings in your midst. They shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.”
When Israel and Judah were judged for their sin, the Ammonites rejoiced. They were glad to see God’s people suffer. And for that attitude, God was going to judge them. How do we feel when we see others fail? Be wary—the heart that rejoices when others fail is a heart that will face God’s judgment.
