Ezekiel 35

1 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it,

3 and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.

4 I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

5 Because you harbored an ancient hatred and delivered the Israelites over to the sword in the time of their disaster at the final stage of their punishment,

6 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.

7 I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.

8 I will fill its mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.

9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

10 Because you have said, ‘These two nations and countries will be ours, and we will possess them,’ even though the LORD was there,

11 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred against them, and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.

12 Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard every contemptuous word you uttered against the mountains of Israel when you said, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to devour!’

13 You boasted against Me with your mouth and multiplied your words against Me. I heard it Myself!

14 This is what the Lord GOD says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

15 As you rejoiced when the inheritance of the house of Israel became desolate, so will I do to you. You will become a desolation, O Mount Seir, and so will all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

1 ¶ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I [am] against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed [the blood of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an end:

6 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain [men]: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

10 ¶ Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

11 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.

12 And thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].

14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, [even] all of it: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it.

3 And say unto the same, Thus saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I will come upon thee, O mount Seir, and stretch out mine hand against thee, and will make thee desolate.

4 I will make thy cities desolate, and thou shalt be desolate, and shalt know that I am the LORD,

5 Because ye bear everlasting enmity against the children of Israel, and put them to the sword, when they were in evil, and their sin was ended.

6 Therefore, as I live, saith the LORD GOD, I will also make thee to bleed, and thou shalt not escape blood: because thou delightest in blood, thou shalt not escape blood.

7 And I will make mount Seir desolate and waste, and no man shall walk therein, nor go thither.

8 And I will fill his mountains, and all his hills, and his valleys, and all his valleys, with dead men, which shall be slain by the sword.

9 Yea, I will make thee an everlasting desolation, and none shall dwell in thy cities: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

10 And because thou sayest, These two nations with both countries must become mine, and we will take them, though the LORD dwell there,

11 Therefore, as I live, saith the LORD GOD, I will deal with thee according to thine anger and thy hatred, as thou hast dealt with them out of pure hatred; and I will be known unto them, when I have punished thee,

12 And thou shalt know that I the LORD have heard thy blasphemy, when thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid waste, and given to us to destroy.

13 And ye have boasted against me, and have spoken fiercely against me: I have heard it.

14 Thus saith the LORD GOD; I will make thee a desolation, and all the earth shall rejoice.

15 And as thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate; so will I do unto thee, that mount Seir shall be desolate, and all Edom: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
