Ezekiel 35 · יחזקאל

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Son of man, set thy face against mount Se῾ir, and prophesy against it,

and say to it, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, O mount Se῾ir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a total blight.

I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred and hast hurled the children of Yisra᾽el to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of their final punishment:

therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, I will prepare thee to blood, and blood shall pursue thee: surely thou hast hated thy own blood; therefore blood shall pursue thee.

Thus will I make mount Se῾ir most desolate, and cut off from it all who come and go.

And I will fill its mountains with its slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not have a restoration: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; though the Lord was there:

therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, I will do according to thy anger, and according to thy envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.

And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Yisra᾽el saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

Thus with your mouth you have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.

Thus says the Lord God; When the whole earth rejoices, I will make thee desolate.

As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Yisra᾽el because it was desolate, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Se῾ir, and all Edom, all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
