Ezekiel 35

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

And there is a word of YHWH 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 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 Y schal distrie thi citees, and thou schalt be forsakun; and thou schalt wite, that Y am the Lord.

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

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

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

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 of your saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And YHWH has been 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—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 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 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 And ye han rise on me with youre mouth, and ye han deprauyd ayens me; Y herde youre wordis.

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

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

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

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.

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!”
