Ezekiel
Chapter 35
1
Moreover the word/'doctrinal communication' {dabar}
of
Jehovah/God came unto me, saying, 2
"Son
of man,
set
your face against mount Seir,
and
prophesy against it, 3
and
say unto it,
'Thus
said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
'Behold,
O mount Seir,
I
am against you,
and
I will stretch out My hand against you,
and
I will make you most desolate. 4
I
will lay your cities waste,
and
you shall be desolate,
and
you shall know that I am Jehovah/God. 5
Because
you have had a perpetual hatred,
and
have 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,"
said
the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"I
will prepare you unto blood,
and
blood shall pursue you . . .
since
you have not hated blood,
even
blood shall pursue you all. 7
Thus
will I make mount Seir most desolate,
and
cut off from it him that passes out
and
him who returns. 8
And I will fill his mountains with his slain men.
In
your hills,
and
in your valleys,
and
in all your rivers,
shall
they fall
who
are slain with the sword. 9
I
will make you perpetual desolations,
and
your cities shall not return . . .
and
you shall know that I am Jehovah/God."
10
"Because you have said,
'These
two nations and these two countries shall be mine,
and
we will possess it;
whereas
Jehovah/God was there."
11
"Therefore, as I live,"
said
the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"I
will even do according to your anger,
and
according to your envy
which
you have used
out
of your hatred against them
and
I will make Myself known among them,
when
I have judged you. 12
And
you shall know that I am Jehovah/God,
and
that I have heard all your blasphemies
which
you have spoken
against
the mountains of Israel, saying,
'They
are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.' "
13
"Thus with your mouth
you
have boasted against Me,
and
have multiplied your words against Me.
I have heard them."
14
Thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"When
the whole earth rejoiced,
I
will make you desolate. 15
As
you did rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel,
because
it was desolate,
so
I will do unto you.
You
shall be desolate,
O
mount Seir,
and
all Idumea,
even
all of it . . .
and
they shall know that I am Jehovah/God."
