| Chapter 35 |
1 |
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, --
|
2 |
Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, --
|
3 |
And say unto it, Thus saith 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 GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee. --
|
7 |
Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, 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 shall not return: 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. --
