Ezekiel 35

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

Moreover, the word of Jehovah 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 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 say to it, Thus saith 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 an utter desolation;

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be a desolation: and thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah.

I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.

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 thou bearest a perpetual hatred, and deliverest up the sons of Israel to the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time when iniquity bringeth destruction:

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, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely, to blood will I bring thee, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou hast not hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.

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;

Thus will I make Mount Seir an utter desolation, and cut off from it him that passeth out, and him that returneth.

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 I will fill his valleys with the slain. Upon thy hills and in thy plains and in thy valleys shall fall they that are slain with the sword.

9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, 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; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

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 thou hast said, “These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we shall possess them,” whereas Jehovah was 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, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger and according to thine envy which in thy hatred against them thou hast practised, and I will make myself known to them when I judge thee.

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 thou shalt know that I am Jehovah, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying: “They are laid desolate; to us are they given to be devoured.”

13 And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].

Thus with your mouth have ye magnified yourselves against me, and multiplied your words against me; I have heard them.

14 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee a desolation.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole land rejoiceth, I will prepare desolation for thee.

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.

As thou didst rejoice over my inheritance, the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to thee! Mount Seir shall be desolate, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
