Ezekiel 35
1 Moreover the
word of the
LORD came unto me,
saying,
2 Son of
man, set thy
face against
mount Seir, and
prophesy against it,
3 And
say unto it, Thus
saith the
Lord GOD; Behold, O
mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch
out mine
hand against thee, and I will
make thee
most desolate. 4 I will
lay thy
cities waste, and thou shalt be
desolate, and thou shalt
know that I am the
LORD. 5 Because thou hast had a
perpetual hatred, and hast
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:
sith thou hast not
hated blood, even
blood shall
pursue thee.
7 Thus will I
make mount Seir most desolate, and cut
off from it him that passeth
out and him that
returneth.
8 And I will
fill his
mountains with his
slain men: in thy
hills, and in thy
valleys, and in all thy
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. 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:
11 Therefore, as I
live, saith the
Lord GOD, I will even
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 have
judged thee.
12 And thou shalt
know that I am the
LORD, and that I have
heard all thy
blasphemies which thou hast
spoken against the
mountains of
Israel, saying, They are laid
desolate, they are
given us to
consume. 13 Thus with your
mouth ye 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. 15 As thou didst
rejoice at 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
Idumea, even all of it: and they shall
know that I am the
LORD.
