In the prophetic literature, such declarations often precede judgments or promises. The use of "Lord GOD" underscores the covenant relationship between God and His people, highlighting His role as both ruler and judge.Because you clapped your hands and stomped your feet: Clapping hands and stomping feet are expressions of mockery and derision in ancient Near Eastern cultures. These actions symbolize a public display of scorn and joy at another's misfortune. In the context of Ezekiel, these gestures reflect the Ammonites' delight in Israel's suffering, which is condemned by God. This behavior is reminiscent of other biblical instances where nations rejoiced at Israel's downfall, such as in <a href="/obadiah/1-12.htm">Obadiah 1:12</a>.and rejoiced over the land of Israel: The land of Israel holds significant theological and historical importance as the Promised Land given to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Rejoicing over its misfortune indicates a deep-seated animosity towards God's chosen people. This sentiment is echoed in <a href="/psalms/137-7.htm">Psalm 137:7</a>, where Edom's rejoicing over Jerusalem's destruction is similarly condemned.with a heart full of contempt: The heart, in biblical terms, represents the center of one's emotions, will, and intellect. A heart full of contempt suggests a profound and malicious disdain. This internal attitude is as significant as external actions in biblical judgment, as God judges the heart (<a href="/1_samuel/16-7.htm">1 Samuel 16:7</a>). The contempt shown by the Ammonites reflects a broader theme of enmity against God's people, which is ultimately enmity against God Himself.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet of God who ministered to the exiles in Babylon.
