Ezekiel 35
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 'Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 and say unto it: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out My hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
And say to it, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against you, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you most desolate.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
5 Because thou hast had a hatred of old, and hast hurled the children of Israel unto the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
Because you have had a perpetual hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6 therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee; surely thou hast hated thine own blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.
Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will prepare you to blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, even blood shall pursue you.
7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth.
Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passes out and him that returns.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain; in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy streams shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in your hills, and in your valleys, and in all your rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
I will make you perpetual desolations, and your cities shall not return: and you shall know that I am the LORD.
10 Because thou hast said: These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there;
Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11 therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will do according to thine anger and according to thine envy, which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.
Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will even do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have used out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged you.
12 And thou shalt know that I the LORD have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying: They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour.
And you shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13 And ye have magnified yourselves against Me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against Me; I have heard it.
Thus with your mouth you have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14 Thus saith the Lord GOD: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
Thus says the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
15 As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee; thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
As you did rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
