Ezekiel 35

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

And there is a word of YHWH to 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 tell it, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.

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.

4 I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

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

5 "'"Because you have had a perpetual enmity, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;

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:

6 therefore, as I live," says the LORD, "I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

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.

7 Thus will I make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.

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,

8 I will fill its mountains with its slain: in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses shall they fall who are slain with the sword.

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

9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

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

10 "'"Because you have said, 'These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it'; whereas the LORD was there:

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

11 therefore, as I live," says the LORD, "I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge you.

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.

12 You shall know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they have been given us to devour.

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.

13 You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it."

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

14 Thus says the LORD: "When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

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

15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am the LORD."'"

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!”
