Chapter 35

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,²

Son of man, set³ thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy¹⁰ against it,

And say¹ unto it, Thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I [am] against thee, and I will stretch out¹ mine hand against thee, and I will make¹ thee most desolate. ⁴⁹²³

I will lay⁴ thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know¹ that I [am] the LORD.

Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed⁵⁵ [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:

Therefore, [as] I live, saith⁷ the Lord GOD, I will prepare⁴ thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue⁴ thee: sith thou hast not hated¹ blood, even blood shall pursue⁴ thee.

Thus will I make¹ mount Seir most desolate, ⁸⁰⁷⁷ and cut off⁵² from it him that passeth out⁶ and him that returneth.⁶

And I will fill¹⁴ his mountains with his slain [men]: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall⁴ that are slain with the sword.

I will make⁴ thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return:^{4 3427 4} and ye shall know¹ that I [am] the LORD.

Because thou hast said,² These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess¹ it; whereas the LORD was there:

Therefore, [as] I live, saith⁷ the Lord GOD, I will even do¹ according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used¹ out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known⁸ among them, when I have judged⁴ thee.

And thou shalt know¹ that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I have heard¹ all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken¹ against the mountains of Israel, saying,² They are laid desolate,^{1 8077} they are given⁸ us to consume.

Thus with your mouth ye have boasted⁵⁵ against me, and have multiplied⁵² your words against me: I have heard¹ [them].

Thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth,² I will make⁴ thee desolate.

As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate,¹ so will I do⁴ unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, [even] all of it: and they shall know¹ that I [am] the LORD.
