Ezekiel 35

Judgment on Mount Seir

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against ^aMount Seir and ^bprophesy against it, 3 and say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against you;

^aI will stretch out My hand against you,

And make you ¹most desolate;

I shall lay your cities waste,

And you shall be desolate.

Then you shall know that I am the Lord.

5 ^a“Because you have had an ¹ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, ^bwhen their iniquity came to an end, 6 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will prepare you for ^ablood, and blood shall pursue you; ^bsince you have not hated ¹blood, therefore blood shall pursue you. 7 Thus I will make Mount Seir ¹most desolate, and cut off from it the ^aone who leaves and the one who returns. 8 And I will fill its mountains with the slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those who are slain by the sword shall fall. 9 ^aI will make you ¹perpetually desolate, and your cities shall be uninhabited; ^bthen you shall know that I am the Lord.
10 “Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will ^apossess them,’ although ^bthe Lord was there, 11 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will do ^aaccording to your anger and according to the envy which you showed in your hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you. 12 ^aThen you shall know that I am the Lord. I have ^bheard all your ^cblasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to consume.’ 13 Thus ^awith your mouth you have ¹boasted against Me and multiplied your ^bwords against Me; I have heard them.”
14 ‘Thus says the Lord God: ^a“The whole earth will rejoice when I make you desolate. 15 ^aAs you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, ^bso I will do to you; you shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom—all of it! Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’
