Ezekiel 35

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

And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying,

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

Son of man Set thy 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 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 make your cities a ruin, and you are a desolation, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.

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

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 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—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, 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 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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.
