Ezekiel 35
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set your 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 GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against you, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you most desolate.
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.
4 I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be a desolation: and thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah.
5 Because you have had a perpetual hatred, and have 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:
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;
6 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will prepare you to blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, even blood shall pursue you.
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.
7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passes out and him that returns.
And I will make mount Seir a desolation and an astonishment, 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 your hills, and in your valleys, and in all your rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
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.
9 I will make you perpetual desolations, and your cities shall not return: and you shall know that I am the LORD.
I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
10 Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah was there:
11 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will even do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have used out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged you.
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.
12 And you shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
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.
13 Thus with your mouth you have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].
14 Thus says the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee a desolation.
15 As you did rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
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.
