Ezekiel 35

A Prophecy against Mount Seir

1Moreover, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 your faceH6440 againstH5921 MountH2022 SeirH8165 and prophesyH5012 against itH5921, 3and declareH559 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559:

5BecauseH3282 you harboredH1961 an ancientH5769 hatredH342 and deliveredH5064 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 over toH5921H3027 the swordH2719 in the timeH6256 of their disasterH343 at the final stageH6256H7093 of their punishmentH5771, 6thereforeH3651 as surely as IH589 liveH2416, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will give you overH6213 to bloodshedH1818 andH1818 it will pursue youH7291. SinceH518 you did notH3808 hateH8130 bloodshedH1818, itH1818 will pursue youH7291.

7I will makeH5414 MountH2022 SeirH8165 a desolateH8077 wasteH8077 and will cut offH3772 from itH4480 those who comeH7725 and goH5674. 8I will fillH4390 its mountainsH2022 with the slainH2491; those killedH2491 by the swordH2719 will fallH5307 on your hillsH1389, in your valleysH1516, and in allH3605 your ravinesH650. 9I will makeH5414 you a perpetualH5769 desolationH8077, and your citiesH5892 will notH3808 be inhabitedH3427. Then you will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068.

10BecauseH3282 you have saidH559, ‘These twoH8147 nationsH1471 andH8147 countriesH776 will beH1961 ours, and we will possess themH3423,’ even though the LORDH3068 wasH1961 thereH8033, 11thereforeH3651 as surely as IH589 liveH2416, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will treat youH6213 according to the angerH639 and jealousyH7068 you showedH6213 in your hatredH8135 against them, and I will make Myself knownH3045 among them whenH834 I judge youH8199.

12Then you will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589, the LORDH3068, have heardH8085 everyH3605 contemptuous wordH5007 you utteredH559 againstH5921 the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 when you saidH559, ‘They are desolateH8074; they are givenH5414 to us to devourH402!’ 13You boastedH1431 against MeH5921 with your mouthH6310 and multipliedH6280 your wordsH1697 against MeH5921. IH589 heard it MyselfH8085!

14This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: While the wholeH3605 earthH776 rejoicesH8055, I will makeH6213 you desolateH8077. 15As you rejoicedH8057 when the inheritanceH5159 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 became desolateH8074, soH3651 will I doH6213 to you. You will becomeH1961 a desolationH8077, O MountH2022 SeirH8165, and so will allH3605 of EdomH123. Then they will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068.
