Ezekiel 35
1 And 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 the mountain of Se'ir, and prophecy against it,
Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 And say unto it, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against thee, O mountain of Se'ir, and I will stretch out my hand over thee, and I will render thee desolate and wasted.
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 Thy cities will I lay in ruins, and thou thyself 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 an undying hatred, and didst surrender the children of Israel to the power of the sword, at the time of their calamity, at the time of the iniquity of the 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 Eternal, I will surely let thy blood flow, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou didst not hate blood-shedding, so shall blood 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 change the mountain of Se'ir into a desolate land and a waste, and I will cut off from it him that travelleth forward and backward.
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: as regardeth thy hills, and thy valleys, and all thy ravines, in them shall fall those that are slain by 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 Into perpetual desolations will I change thee, and thy cities shall not be restored: 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 indeed be mine, and we will take possession thereof; 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 thy anger, and according to thy envy which thou didst use out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I judge 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: I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given unto us to consume them.
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 And ye boasted greatly against me with your mouth, and have multiplied against me your words: I have indeed heard them.
and you have spoken swelling words against me with your mouth: I have heard [them].
14 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, 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 over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was made desolate: so will I do unto thee; desolate shalt thou be, O mountain of Se'ir, and all Idumea—altogether; 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.
