Ezekiel 35
1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it.
Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 And say to it, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.
and say to it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and will make thee a waste, and thou shalt be made desolate.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shall be desolate. And thou shall know that I am Jehovah.
And I will cause desolation in thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
5 Because thou have had a perpetual enmity, and have given over the sons of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
Because thou hast been a perpetual enemy, and hast laid wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last:
6 therefore, as I live, says the lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee to blood, and blood shall pursue thee. Since thou have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, verily thou hast sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.
7 Thus I will make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation, and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:
8 And I will fill its mountains with its slain. In thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy watercourses they shall fall who are slain with the sword.
and I will fill thy hills and thy valleys with slain men, and in all thy plains there shall fall in thee men slain with the sword.
9 I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited any more: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
10 Because thou have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah was there,
Because thou saidst, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there:
11 therefore, as I live, says the lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou have shown out of thy hatred against them. And I will make myself known among them when I shall judge thee.
therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord, I will even deal with thee according to thine enmity, and I will be made known to thee when I shall judge thee:
12 And thou shall know that I, Jehovah, have heard all thy revilings which thou have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate. They are given us to devour.
and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of thy blasphemies, whereas thou hast said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;
13 And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.
and thou hast spoken swelling words against me with thy mouth: I have heard [them].
14 Thus says the lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoices, I will make thee desolate.
Thus saith the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make thee desert.
15 As thou rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will do to thee. Thou shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
Thou shalt be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord their God.
