Ezekiel 35 :: New Living Translation (NLT)

A Message for Edom

Eze 35:1

Eze 35:1Again a message came to me from the LORD:

Eze 35:2

Eze 35:2“Son of man, turn and face Mount Seir, and prophesy against its people.

Eze 35:3

Eze 35:3Give them this message from the Sovereign LORD:
“I am your enemy, O Mount Seir,
and I will raise my fist against you
to destroy you completely.

Eze 35:4

Eze 35:4I will demolish your cities
and make you desolate.
Then you will know that I am the LORD.

Eze 35:5

Eze 35:5“Your eternal hatred for the people of Israel led you to butcher them when they were helpless, when I had already punished them for all their sins.

Eze 35:6

Eze 35:6As surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, since you show no distaste for blood, I will give you a bloodbath of your own. Your turn has come!

Eze 35:7

Eze 35:7I will make Mount Seir utterly desolate, killing off all who try to escape and any who return.

Eze 35:8

Eze 35:8I will fill your mountains with the dead. Your hills, your valleys, and your ravines will be filled with people slaughtered by the sword.

Eze 35:9

Eze 35:9I will make you desolate forever. Your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

Eze 35:10

Eze 35:10“For you said, ‘The lands of Israel and Judah will be ours. We will take possession of them. What do we care that the LORD is there!’

Eze 35:11

Eze 35:11Therefore, as surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, I will pay back your angry deeds with my own. I will punish you for all your acts of anger, envy, and hatred. And I will make myself known to Israel[fn] by what I do to you.

Eze 35:12

Eze 35:12Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard every contemptuous word you spoke against the mountains of Israel. For you said, ‘They are desolate; they have been given to us as food to eat!’

Eze 35:13

Eze 35:13In saying that, you boasted proudly against me, and I have heard it all!

Eze 35:14

Eze 35:14“This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The whole world will rejoice when I make you desolate.

Eze 35:15

Eze 35:15You rejoiced at the desolation of Israel’s territory. Now I will rejoice at yours! You will be wiped out, you people of Mount Seir and all who live in Edom! Then you will know that I am the LORD.
