Ezekiel 35
Chapter 35
Prophecy against Mount Seir
1 Moreover, the word of the Lord 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 God,
“
Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir,
And I will stretch out My hand against you
And make you a desolation and a waste.
4 “I will lay waste your cities
And you will become a desolation.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5 “Because you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons
of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time
of the punishment of the end,
6 therefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will give you
over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated
bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.
7 “I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation and I will cut off from
it the one who passes through and returns.
8 “I will fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills and in your
valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will fall.
9 “I will make you an everlasting desolation and your cities will not
be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
10 “Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands
will be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the Lord was there,
11 therefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will deal with
you according to your anger and according to your envy which you showed because
of your hatred against them; so I will make Myself known among them when I
judge you.
12 “Then you will know that I, the Lord, have heard all your revilings
which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, ‘They are
laid desolate; they are given to us for food.’
13 “And you have spoken arrogantly against Me and have multiplied your
words against Me; I have heard it.”
14 ‘Thus says the Lord God, “As all the earth rejoices, I will
make you a desolation.
15 “As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because
it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be a desolation, O Mount Seir,
and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” ’
