Ezekiel 35
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
And the word of Jehovah 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 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 say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and I will make thee 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 will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be a desolation: and thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah.
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 thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast 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;
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, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will certainly appoint thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou hast not hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.
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 will make mount Seir a desolation and an astonishment, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth;
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 I will fill his mountains with his slain. In thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
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 will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
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 thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah was 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, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy, as thou hast done out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.
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 thou shalt know that I Jehovah have heard all thy reproaches, which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour.
13 You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it."
And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].
14 Thus says the LORD: "When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee a desolation.
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."'"
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolated, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be a desolation, O mount Seir, and all Edom, the whole of it: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
