Ezekiel 35
1AGAIN a word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2Son of man, set thy face against the mountain of Seir, and prophesy against it and say to it,
3Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I am against thee, mountain of Seir; and I will stretch forth My hand against thee, and make thee a desert and thou shalt be desolate.
4And I will make a devastation among thy cities, and thou shalt be a desert and shalt know that I am the Lord.
5Because thou hast been a perpetual enemy and didst deceitfully lie in wait for the house of Israel—hast been a sword in the hand of enemies in the time of revolt, in their last extremity;
6therefore as I live, saith the Lord God: As thou hast sinned unto blood, so blood shall pursue thee.
7And I will make the mountain of Seir an entire desert; and I will destroy from it men and cattle,
8and fill with the wounded thy hills and thy valleys: and in all thy plains, the victims of the sword shall fall in thee.
9I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall no more be inhabited, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
10Because thou saidst, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I will possess them, though the Lord is there.
11Therefore, as I live saith the Lord, I will deal with thee according to thine enmity, and be made known to thee, when I judge thee;
12and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. I have heard the sound of thy revilings; because thou saidst, The waste mountains of Israel are given us to be devoured,
13and didst utter swelling words against me with thy mouth. I heard them;
14therefore thus saith the Lord: To the joy of the whole land I will make thee a desert.
15Thou mountain of Seir shalt be a desert; and all Idumea shall be destroyed; and thou shalt know that I the Lord am their God.
