Ezekiel 35

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,

2 O son of humankind set face your on [the] mountain of Seir and prophesy on it.

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

3 And you will say to it thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against you O mountain of Seir and I will stretch out hand my on you and I will make you a desolation and a waste.

and tell it, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.

4 Cities your a ruin I will make and you a desolation you will be and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

5 Because belonged to you enmity of antiquity and you poured [the] people of Israel over [the] hands of [the] sword at [the] time of disaster their at a time of punishment of [the] end.

“‘“Because you have had a perpetual hostility, 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,

6 Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh that to blood I will appoint you and blood it will pursue you if not blood you have hated and blood it will pursue you.

therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you.

7 And I will make [the] mountain of Seir into a desolation and a desolation and I will cut off from it [one who] passes through and [one who] returns.

Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.

8 And I will fill mountains its slain [ones] its hills your and valleys your and all ravines your [those] slain of a sword they will fall in them.

I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.

9 Desolations of perpetuity I will make you and cities your not (they will return *QK) and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

10 Because saying you [the] two the nations and [the] two the lands to me they will belong and we will take possession of it and Yahweh there he was.

“‘“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although the LORD was there,

11 Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh and I will act according to anger your and according to jealousy your which you did from hatred your with them and I will make myself known among them when I will judge you.

therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “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 judge you.

12 And you will know that I Yahweh I have heard - all insults your which you have said on [the] mountains of Israel saying - (they have been desolated *QK) to us they have been given for devouring.

You will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’

13 And you have magnified yourselves on me with mouth your and you have multiplied on me words your I I have heard.

You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”

14 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh when rejoices all the earth desolation I will make for you.

The Lord GOD says: “When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

15 According to rejoicing your to [the] inheritance of [the] house of Israel on that it had been desolated so I will do to you a desolation you will be O mountain of Seir and all Edom all of it and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
