Ezekiel 35

Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ²Son of man, ^aset thy face against ^bmount Seir, and ^cprophesy against it, ³and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; ^dBehold, ^bO mount Seir, I am against thee, and ^eI will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. ^4fI will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, ^gand thou shalt know that I am the Lord. ^5chBecause thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast ⁱshed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword ^jin the time of their calamity, ^kin the time that their iniquity had an end: ⁶therefore, ^las I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: ^msith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee. ⁷Thus will I make ^bmount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it ⁿhim that passeth out and him that returneth. ⁸And I will fill ^ohis mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in ^othy valleys, and in all ^othy rivers, shall they fall ^pthat are slain with the sword. ⁹I ^fqwill make thee ^rperpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: ^gand ye shall know that I am the Lord. ¹⁰Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and ^swe will possess it; whereas ^tthe Lord was there: ¹¹therefore, ^las I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do ^uaccording to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and ^vI will make myself known amongst them, when I have judged thee. ^12gAnd thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy ^wblasphemies which thou hast spoken against ^xthe mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, ^sthey are given us to consume. ¹³Thus ^ywith your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them. ¹⁴Thus saith the Lord God; ^zWhen the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. ^15aAs thou didst ^aarejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, ^uaso will I do unto thee: ^bthou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and ^call Idumea, even all of it: ^dand they shall know that I am the Lord.
