Ezekiel 35 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Eze 35:1Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Eze 35:2Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
Eze 35:3and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.
Eze 35:4I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
Eze 35:5Because thou hast had a perpetual enmity, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
Eze 35:6therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.
Eze 35:7Thus will I make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth.
Eze 35:8And I will fill its mountains with its slain: in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
Eze 35:9I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
Eze 35:10Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Jehovah was there:
Eze 35:11therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast showed out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.
Eze 35:12And thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour.
Eze 35:13And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it.
Eze 35:14Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
Eze 35:15As thou didst rejoice over 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 Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
