Ezek 35
1
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2
Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy concerning it, and say to
it:
3
Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch
forth my hand upon thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.
4
I will destroy thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate: and thou shalt know that I
am the Lord.
5
Because thou hast been an everlasting enemy, and hast shut up the children of Israel
in the hands of the sword in the time of their affliction, in the time of their last
iniquity.
6
Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will deliver thee up to blood, and blood
shall pursue thee: and whereas thou hast hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.
7
And I will make mount Seir waste and desolate: and I will take away from it him that
goeth and him that returneth.
8
And I will fill his mountains with his men that are slain: in thy hills, and in thy
valleys, and in thy torrents they shall fall that are slain with the sword.
9
I will make thee everlasting desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and
thou shalt know that I am the Lord God.
10
Because thou hast said: The two nations, and the two lands shall be mine, and I will
possess them by inheritance: whereas the Lord was there.
11
Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will do according to thy wrath, and according
to thy envy, which thou hast exercised in hatred to them: and I will be made known
by them, when I shall have judged thee.
12
And thou shalt know that I the Lord have heard all thy reproaches, that thou hast
spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying: They are desolate, they are given
to us to consume.
13
And you rose up against me with your mouth, and have derogated from me by your words:
I have heard them.
14
Thus saith the Lord God: When the whole earth shall rejoice, I will make thee a wilderness.
15
As thou best rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was
laid waste, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be laid waste, O mount Seir, and all
Idumea: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
