< Ezekiel 35 >
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.
and you have said to it, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand against you, And made you a desolation and an astonishment.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be a desolation: and thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah.
I make your cities a ruin, and you are a desolation, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword, in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
Because of your having continuous enmity, And you saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end:
6 therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will certainly appoint thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou hast not hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.
Therefore, [as] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, Surely I appoint you for blood, And blood pursues you, If you have not hated blood, Blood also pursues you.
7 And I will make mount Seir a desolation and an astonishment, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth;
And I have given Mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning,
8 and I will fill his mountains with his slain. In thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
And filled his mountains with his wounded, Your hills, and your valleys, and all your streams, The pierced of the sword fall into them.
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
I make you continuous desolations, And your cities do not return, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah was there:
Because of your saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And YHWH has been there;
11 therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy, as thou hast done out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.
Therefore, [as] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, And I have done according to your anger, And according to your envy, With which you have worked, Because of your hatred against them, And I have been known among them when I judge you.
12 And thou shalt know that I Jehovah have heard all thy reproaches, which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour.
And you have known that I [am] YHWH, I have heard all your despisings that you have spoken Against mountains of Israel, saying, A desolation—they were 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 [them].
And you magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And have made your words abundant against Me; I have heard.
14 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee a desolation.
Thus said Lord YHWH: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, I make a desolation of you.
15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolated, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be a desolation, O mount Seir, and all Edom, the whole of it: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
According to your joy at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of desolation, So I do to you—you are a desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom—all of it, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
