Ezekiel 35

¹The word of the Lord came to me:

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

³and say to it, Thus says the Lord God: Behold , I am against you, Mount Seir , and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and a waste .

⁴I will lay your cities waste , and you shall become a desolation , and you shall know that I am the Lord.

⁵Because you cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity , at the time of their final punishment ,

⁶therefore , as I live , declares the Lord God, I will prepare you for blood , and blood shall pursue you; because you did not hate bloodshed , therefore blood shall pursue you.

⁷I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation , and I will cut off from it all who come and go .

⁸And I will fill its mountains with the slain . On your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain with the sword shall fall .

⁹I will make you a perpetual desolation , and your cities shall not be inhabited . Then you will know that I am the Lord.

¹⁰Because you said , These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will take possession of them —although the Lord was there —

¹¹therefore , as I live , declares the Lord God, I will deal with you according to the anger and envy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And I will make myself known among them, when I judge you.

¹²And you shall know that I am the Lord. I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel , saying , They are laid desolate ; they are given us to devour .

¹³And you magnified yourselves against me with your mouth , and multiplied your words against me; I heard it.

¹⁴Thus says the Lord God: While the whole earth rejoices , I will make you desolate .

¹⁵As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel , because it was desolate , so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate , Mount Seir , and all Edom , all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
