Ezekiel 35

1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

Moveover the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

Sonne of man, Set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesie against it,

3 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.

And say vnto it, Thus sayth the Lord God, Behold, O mount Seir, I come against thee, and I wil stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.

4 I make your cities a ruin, and you are a desolation, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

I wil lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord.

5 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:

Because thou hast had a perpetuall hatred and hast put the children of Israel to flight by the force of the sword in the time of their calamitie, when their iniquitie had an ende,

6 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.

Therefore as I liue, sayth the Lord God, I wil prepare thee vnto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: except thou hate blood, euen blood shall pursue thee.

7 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,

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

8 And filled his mountains with his wounded, Your hills, and your valleys, and all your streams, The pierced of the sword fall into them.

And I will fill his mountaines with his slayne men: in thine hilles, and in thy valleys and in all thy riuers shall they fall, that are slayne with the sworde.

9 I make you continuous desolations, And your cities do not return, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

I wil make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not returne, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.

10 Because of your saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And YHWH has been there;

Because thou hast said, These two nations, and these two countreys shalbe mine, and we wil possesse them (seeing the Lord was there)

11 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.

Therefore as I liue, sayth the Lord God, I wil euen do according to thy wrath, and according to thine indignation which thou hast vsed in thine hatred against them: and I wil make my selfe knowen among them whe I haue iudged thee.

12 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.

And thou shalt know, that I the Lord haue heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountaines of Israel, saying, They lye waste, they are giuen vs to be deuoured.

13 And you magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And have made your words abundant against Me; I have heard.

Thus with your mouthes ye haue boasted against me, and haue multiplied your words against me: I haue heard them.

14 Thus said Lord YHWH: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, I make a desolation of you.

Thus sayth the Lord God, So shall all the world reioyce when I shall make thee desolate.

15 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!”

As thou diddest reioyce at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I doe vnto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea wholly, and they shall know, that I am the Lord.
