Ezekiel 35
1 Moreover the word of YHWH 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 Sovereign YHWH; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
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 desolate, and thou shalt know that I am YHWH.
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 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 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 Sovereign YHWH, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even 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 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, 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 men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, 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 return: and ye shall know that I am YHWH.
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 YHWH 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 Sovereign YHWH, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged 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 am YHWH, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
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 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, 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 Sovereign YHWH; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
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 desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am YHWH.
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!”
