Ezekiel 35

¹Moreover the word of YHWH came unto me, saying, ²Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 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. ⁴I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shalt know that I am Jehovah. ⁵Because you 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; ⁶therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since you hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee. 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. ⁸And 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. ⁹I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. ¹⁰Because you hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas YHWH was there: ¹¹therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to yours anger, and according to yours envy which you hast showed out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee. ¹²And you shall know that I, Jehovah, have heard all your revilings which you hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour. ¹³And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it. ¹⁴Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. ¹⁵As you didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: you shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
