Ezekiel 35

1 And the word of Jehovah was unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

3 and say to it, Thus says the Lord Jehovih*; Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch·​·out My hand against thee, and I will put thee as desolate and a desolation.

4 I will set thy cities as a waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.

5 Because there was to thee an eternal enmity, and thou hast made the sons of Israel to flow·​·down on the hands of the sword in the time of their downfall, in the time of the iniquity of the end;

6 therefore, as I live, says the Lord Jehovih, if I will make thee to blood, then blood shall pursue thee; if thou hatest not blood, then blood shall pursue thee.

7 And I will give Mount Seir to desolation and desolation, and cut·​·off from it him who passes·​·through and him who returns.

8 And I will fill its mountains with its slain; thy hills, and thy ravines, and all thy channels, into them shall fall those slain with the sword.

9 I will put thee as eternal desolations, and thy cities shall not return; and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

10 Because thou hast said, The two nations and the two lands shall be mine, and we will possess her, but Jehovah was there.

11 therefore, as I live, says the Lord Jehovih, I will do according·​·to thine anger, and according to thy jealousy which thou hast done from thine hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them, as I have judged thee.

12 And thou shalt know that I am Jehovah, I have heard all thy disdain which thou hast said against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are desolate, they are given us for food.

13 And with your mouth you have magnified yourselves against Me, and have supplicated against Me with your words; I have heard.

14 Thus says the Lord Jehovih; When all the land is·​·glad, I will make for thee a desolation.

15 As thou didst have gladness at the inheritance of the house of Israel, on·​·account·​·of which it was desolate, so will I do unto thee; thou shalt be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of her: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
