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."
