The Book of Ezekiel
35: 1Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 35:2Son of man, set thy
face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 35:3and say unto it, Thus saith the
Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my
hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment. 35:4I will
lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am
Jehovah. 35:5Because thou hast had a perpetual enmity, and hast 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; 35:6therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will
prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated
blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee. 35:7Thus will I make mount Seir an
astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth through
and him that returneth. 35:8And I will fill its mountains with its slain: in thy hills
and in thy valleys and in all thy watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the
sword. 35:9I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be
inhabited; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 35:10Because thou hast said, These
two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it;
whereas Jehovah was there: 35:11therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will
do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast showed
out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when
I shall judge thee. 35:12And thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, have heard all thy
revilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are
laid desolate, they are given us to devour. 35:13And ye have magnified yourselves
against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have
heard it. 35:14Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will
make thee desolate. 35:15As 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 Jehovah.
