Ezekiel 35

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

And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 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 thou shalt say to it Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against thee Mount Seir, —Therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, And I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment:

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

Thy cities, will I lay waste, And thou—a desolation, shalt become, So shalt thou know that I, am Yahweh.

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 thou hast had an age-abiding enmity, And hast delivered up the sons of Israel unto the hands of the sword, - In the time of their misfortune, In the time of the final punishment for iniquity,

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, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely regarding blood, will I deal with thee, Blood therefore, shall pursue thee, -Since blood thou hast not hated, Therefore blood, shall pursue thee,

7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

So then I will deliver up Mount Seir to desolation after desolation, - And will cut off therefrom him that passeth by and him that returneth,

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 his mountains with his slain, — As for thy hills and thy hollows and all thy channels, they who are thrust through by the sword shall fall therein:

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

Desolations age-abiding, will I make thee, And thy cities, shall not be inhabited, - So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

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 thou hast said, the two nations, and the two lands, mine, shall become, that we may possess it Whereas Yahweh, had been 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, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, I will even deal according to thine anger, and according to thine envy, wherewith thou hast dealt, out of thy hatred with them, - So will I make myself known among them as soon as I shall judge thee

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 thou shalt know that, I Yahweh, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel saying, They have become desolate, — To us, have they been given for food;

13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].

And so ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, And have caused to abound against me your words, —I, have heard!

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

Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, — When all the earth is rejoicing, a desolation, will I make thee:

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.

As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it had become a desolation, so, will, I, do unto thee, — A desolation, shalt thou become, O Mount Seir And all Edom all of it, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.
