Ezekiel 35

1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 and he seide, Thou, sone of man, sette thi face ayens the hil of Seir; and thou schalt profesie to it, and thou schalt seie to it,

Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

3 The Lord God seith these thingis, Thou hil of Seir, lo! Y to thee; Y schal stretche forth myn hond on thee, and Y schal yyue thee desolat and forsakun.

and say to it, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and will make you a waste, and you shall be made desolate.

4 Y schal distrie thi citees, and thou schalt be forsakun; and thou schalt wite, that Y am the Lord.

And I will cause desolation in your cities, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

5 For thou were an enemye euerlastynge, and closidist togidere the sonis of Israel in to the hondis of swerd, in the tyme of her turment, in the tyme of the laste wickidnesse;

Because you have been a perpetual enemy, and have laid wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last:

6 therfor Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for Y schal yyue thee to blood, and blood schal pursue thee; and sithen thou hatidist blood, blood schal pursue thee.

Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, verily you have sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

7 And Y schal yyue the hil of Seir desolat and forsakun, and Y schal take awei fro it a goere and a comere ayen;

And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:

8 and Y schal fille the hillis therof with the careyns of her slayn men. Men slayn by swerd schulen falle doun in thi litle hillis, and in thi valeys, and in thi strondis.

and I will fill your hills and your valleys with slain men, and in all your plains there shall fall in you men slain with the sword.

9 Y schal yyue thee in to euerlastynge wildirnessis, and thi citees schulen not be enhabitid; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord God.

I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited any more: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

10 For thou seidist, Twei folkis and twei londis schulen be myne, and Y schal welde tho bi eritage, whanne the Lord was there;

Because you said, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there:

11 therfor Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for Y schal do bi thi wraththe, and bi thin enuye, which thou didist, hatinge hem, and Y schal be made knowun bi hem, whanne Y schal deme thee;

therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord, I will even deal with you according to your enmity, and I will be made known to you when I shall judge you:

12 and thou schalt wite, that Y am the Lord. Y herde alle thi schenschipis, whiche thou spakist of the hillis of Israel, and seidist, The hillis of Israel ben forsakun, and ben youun to vs, for to deuoure.

and you shall know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of your blasphemies, whereas you have said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;

13 And ye han rise on me with youre mouth, and ye han deprauyd ayens me; Y herde youre wordis.

and you have spoken swelling words against me with your mouth: I have heard [them].

14 The Lord God seith these thingis, While al the lond is glad, Y schal turne thee in to wildernesse.

Thus says the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make you desert.

15 As thou haddist ioie on the eritage of the hous of Israel, for it was distried, so Y schal do to thee; the hil of Seir schal be distried, and al Ydumee; and thei schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.

You shall be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and you shall know that I am the Lord their God.
