Ezek 35
1
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3
and say to it, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, O mount Seir, and
I will stretch out my hand against you, and will make you a waste, and you shall be
made desolate.
4
And I will cause desolation in your cities, and you shall be desolate, and you shall
know that I am the Lord.
5
Because you have been a perpetual enemy, and have laid wait craftily for the house
of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the
last:
6
Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, truly you have sinned even to blood, therefore
blood shall pursue you.
7
And I will Gr. give make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:
8
and I will fill your hills and your valleys with slain men, and in all your plains
there shall fall in you men slain with the sword.
9
I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited any
more: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
10
Because you said, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall
inherit them; whereas the Lord is there:
11
therefore, as I live, says the Lord, I will even deal with you according to your enmity,
Alex. +’and according to they jealousy which you have vented in they hatred against
them’ and I will be made known to you when I shall judge you:
12
and you shall know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of your blasphemies,
whereas you have said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;
13
and you have spoken swelling words against me with your mouth: I have heard them.
14
Thus says the Lord; Lit. in the joy of, etc. When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make you desert.
15
You shall be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed:
and you shall know that I am the Lord their God.
