Jubilee2000 - Ezekiel - 35

35:1  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

35:2  Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against him,

35:3  and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, O mount Seir, I [am] against thee, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee waste and solitary.

35:4  I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

35:5  Because thou hast had perpetual enmities and hast scattered the sons of Israel to the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the extremely evil time:

35:6  therefore, [as] I live, said the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and if thou dost not hate blood, blood shall pursue thee.

35:7  And I will make mount Seir waste and solitary and cut off from him, he that passes out and him that returns.

35:8  And I will fill his mountains with his dead; and in thy hills and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, they shall fall that are slain with the sword.

35:9  I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall never be restored; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

35:10  Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess them, whereas the LORD was there.

35:11  Therefore, [as] I live, said the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy enmity against them; and I shall be known in them when I judge thee.

35:12  And thou shalt know that I, the LORD, have heard all thy injuries which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate; they are given us to devour.

35:13  Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me and have multiplied your words against me; I have heard [them].

35:14  Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Thus shall the whole earth rejoice [when] I shall make thee desolate.

35:15  As thou didst rejoice upon the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee; thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, [even] all of it: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.:
