Ezekiel 35

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

And the word of the Lord came 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 GOD; 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 say to it, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and will make you a waste, and you shall be made desolate.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

And I will cause desolation in your cities, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

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 you have been a perpetual enemy, and have laid wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last:

6 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, 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, says the Lord God, verily you have sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue 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 will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:

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 I will fill your hills and your valleys with slain men, and in all your plains there shall fall in you men slain with the sword.

9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited any more: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

Because you said, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there:

11 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, 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, says the Lord, I will even deal with you according to your enmity, and I will be made known to you when I shall judge you:

12 And thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD, [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 shall know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of your blasphemies, whereas you have said, The desert mountains of Israel are 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 have spoken swelling words against me with your mouth: I have heard [them].

14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

Thus says the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make you desert.

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] the LORD.

You shall be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and you shall know that I am the Lord their God.
