Ezekiel 35:2-15

Ezekiel 35:2-15

[2] Son  of man,  set  thy face  against mount  Seir,  and prophesy  [3] And say  the Lord  GOD;  Behold, O mount  Seir,  I am against thee, and I will stretch out  mine hand  against thee, and I will make  thee most  desolate.  [4] I will lay  thy cities  waste,  and thou shalt be desolate,  and thou shalt know  that I am the LORD.  [5] Because thou hast had a perpetual  hatred,  and hast shed  the blood of the children  of Israel  by the force  of the sword  in the time  of their calamity,  in the time  that their iniquity  had an end:  [6] Therefore, as I live,  saith  the Lord  I will prepare  thee unto blood,  shall pursue  thee: sith  thou hast not hated  blood,  shall pursue  [7] Thus will I make  mount  Seir  most  and cut off  from it him that passeth out  and him that returneth.  [8] And I will fill  his mountains  with his slain  men: in thy hills,  and in thy valleys,  and in all thy rivers,  shall they fall  that are slain  with the sword.  [9] I will make  thee perpetual  desolations,  and thy cities  and ye shall know  that I am the LORD.  [10] Because thou hast said,  These two  nations  and these two  countries  shall be mine, and we will possess  it; whereas the LORD  was there: [11] Therefore, as I live,  saith  the Lord  GOD,  I will even do  according to thine anger,  and according to thine envy  which thou hast used  out of thy hatred  against them; and I will make myself known  among them, when I have judged  thee. [12] 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 Israel,  saying,  They are laid desolate,  they are given  us to consume.  [13] Thus with your mouth  ye have boasted  against me, and have multiplied  your words  against me: I have heard  them. [14] Thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  When the whole earth  rejoiceth,  I will make  thee desolate.  [15] As thou didst rejoice  at 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.
