AB - Ezekiel - 35

35:1  And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

35:2  Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

35:3  and say to it, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Mount Seir, and I will stretch out My hand against you, and I will make you a waste, and you shall be made desolate.

35:4  And I will cause desolation in your cities, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

35:5  Because you have been a perpetual enemy, and have lied in wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last:

35:6  Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, verily you have sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

35:7  And I will make Mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off of it both men and cattle;

35:8  and I will fill your hills and your valleys with the slain, and in all your plains there shall fall in you men slain with the sword.

35:9  I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited anymore; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

35:10  Because you said, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there.

35:11  Therefore, as I live, says the Lord, I will even deal with you according to your enmity, and I will be made known to you when I shall judge you;

35:12  and you shall know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of your blasphemies, whereas you have said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;

35:13  and you have spoken swelling words against Me with your mouth: I have heard them.

35:14  Thus says the Lord: When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make you desolate.

35:15  You shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all of Edom; and it shall be utterly consumed; and you shall know that I am the Lord their God.
