Ezek 35
1
Moreover the word of YHWH 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 YHWH: Behold, I am against you, O mount Seir, and
I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.
4
I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I
am YHWH.
5
Because you have had a perpetual enmity, 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, as I live, says the Lord YHWH, I will prepare you to blood, and blood shall
pursue you: since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.
7
Thus will I make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from
it him whom passes through and him whom returns.
8
And I will fill its mountains with its slain: in your hills and in your valleys and
in all your watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9
I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and
you shall know that I am YHWH.
10
Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and
we will possess it; whereas YHWH was there:
11
therefore, as I live, says the Lord YHWH, I will do according to your anger, and according
to your envy which you have showed out of your hatred against them; and I will make
myself known among them, when I shall judge you.
12
And you shall know that I, YHWH, have heard all your revilings which you have spoken
against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us
to devour.
13
And you have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied
your words against me: I have heard it.
14
Thus says the Lord YHWH: When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
15
As you did rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate,
so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of
it; and they shall know that I am YHWH.
