Ezekiel 35

1 Moveover the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

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

2 Sonne of man, Set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesie against it,

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

3 And say vnto it, Thus sayth the Lord God, Behold, O mount Seir, I come against thee, and I wil stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.

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 wil lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt knowe 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 perpetuall hatred and hast put the children of Israel to flight by the force of the sword in the time of their calamitie, when their iniquitie had an ende,

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 liue, sayth the Lord God, I wil prepare thee vnto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: except thou hate blood, euen 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 desolate and waste, and cut off from it him that passeth out 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 mountaines with his slayne men: in thine hilles, and in thy valleys and in all thy riuers shall they fall, that are slayne with the sworde.

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 wil make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not returne, and ye shall knowe 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 countreys shalbe mine, and we wil possesse them (seeing 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 liue, sayth the Lord God, I wil euen do according to thy wrath, and according to thine indignation which thou hast vsed in thine hatred against them: and I wil make my selfe knowen among them whe I haue iudged 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 haue heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountaines of Israel, saying, They lye waste, they are giuen vs to be deuoured.

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 Thus with your mouthes ye haue boasted against me, and haue multiplied your words against me: I haue heard them.

Thus with your mouth you have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.

14 Thus sayth the Lord God, So shall all the world reioyce when I shall make thee desolate.

Thus says the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

15 As thou diddest reioyce at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I doe vnto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea wholly, 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.
