Ezekiel 35

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

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

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

Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy 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 unto it, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against you, and I will stretch out mine hand against you, and I will make you most desolate.

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

I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know 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 you have had a perpetual hatred, and have 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:

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 live, says the Lord GOD, I will prepare you unto blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, even blood shall pursue you.

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 most desolate, and cut off from it him that passes out and him that returns.

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 mountains with his slain men: in your hills, and in your valleys, and in all your rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

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

I will make you perpetual desolations, and your cities shall not return: and all of you shall know 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 you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas 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 live, says the Lord GOD, I will even do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have used out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged you.

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 you shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

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

Thus with your mouth all of you have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.

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

Thus says the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you 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 you did rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto you: you shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
