< Ezekiel 35 >
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Son of man, face towards Mount Seir and prophesy against it
O son of humankind set face your on [the] mountain of Seir and prophesy on it.
3 Announce that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Mount Seir. I'm going to attack you and turn you into a wasteland.
And you will say to it thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against you O mountain of Seir and I will stretch out hand my on you and I will make you a desolation and a waste.
4 I will ruin your towns; you will be completely devastated. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
Cities your a ruin I will make and you a desolation you will be and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
5 Because of your lasting hatred for the Israelites you let them be attacked with swords as they went through terrible disasters when the time of their punishment was coming to an end.
Because belonged to you enmity of antiquity and you poured [the] people of Israel over [the] hands of [the] sword at [the] time of disaster their at a time of punishment of [the] end.
6 So as I live, declares the Lord God, I will let you be violently attacked and chased down. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will come after you.
Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh that to blood I will appoint you and blood it will pursue you if not blood you have hated and blood it will pursue you.
7 I will turn Mount Seir into a ruined wasteland. I will wipe out anyone who leaves or who tries to return.
And I will make [the] mountain of Seir into a desolation and a desolation and I will cut off from it [one who] passes through and [one who] returns.
8 I will fill its mountains with the dead. Those killed by the sword will fall in your hills, valleys, and all your ravines.
And I will fill mountains its slain [ones] its hills your and valleys your and all ravines your [those] slain of a sword they will fall in them.
9 I will ruin you forever. Your towns will not be inhabited again. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
Desolations of perpetuity I will make you and cities your not (they will return *Q(K)*) and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
10 Because you said, ‘These two nations and their lands belong to us, and we will take them over, even though the Lord was there with them,’
Because saying you [the] two the nations and [the] two the lands to me they will belong and we will take possession of it and Yahweh there he was.
11 then as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you in the same way that you showed anger and jealousy to them in your hatred of them. They will realize that I'm punishing you because of the way you treated them.
Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and I will act according to anger your and according to jealousy your which you did from hatred your with them and I will make myself known among them when I will judge you.
12 You will also realize that I, the Lord, heard all the nasty things you said about the mountainous land of Israel when you announced, ‘The mountains have been left empty; they're ours to take!’
And you will know that I Yahweh I have heard - all insults your which you have said on [the] mountains of Israel saying - (they have been desolated *Q(K)*) to us they have been given for devouring.
13 You made a lot of boasts attacking me—you had much to say against me. I heard it for myself!
And you have magnified yourselves on me with mouth your and you have multiplied on me words your I I have heard.
14 This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy you as everyone else in the world celebrates.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh when rejoices all the earth desolation I will make for you.
15 Just as you celebrated when Israel was destroyed, I will do the same to you. Mount Seir, you will become a wasteland, and so will the rest of Edom. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
According to rejoicing your to [the] inheritance of [the] house of Israel on that it had been desolated so I will do to you a desolation you will be O mountain of Seir and all Edom all of it and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
