- Chapter 35 -

1
Moveover the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
2
Sonne of man, Set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesie against it,
3
And say vnto it, Thus sayth the Lord God, Behold, O mount Seir, I come against thee, and I wil stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.
4
I wil lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord.
5
Because thou hast had a perpetuall hatred and hast put the children of Israel to flight by the force of the sword in the time of their calamitie, when their iniquitie had an ende,
6
Therefore as I liue, sayth the Lord God, I wil prepare thee vnto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: except thou hate blood, euen blood shall pursue thee.
7
Thus will I make mount Seir desolate and waste, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8
And I will fill his mountaines with his slayne men: in thine hilles, and in thy valleys and in all thy riuers shall they fall, that are slayne with the sworde.
9
I wil make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not returne, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
10
Because thou hast said, These two nations, and these two countreys shalbe mine, and we wil possesse them (seeing the Lord was there)
11
Therefore as I liue, sayth the Lord God, I wil euen do according to thy wrath, and according to thine indignation which thou hast vsed in thine hatred against them: and I wil make my selfe knowen among them whe I haue iudged thee.
12
And thou shalt know, that I the Lord haue heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountaines of Israel, saying, They lye waste, they are giuen vs to be deuoured.
13
Thus with your mouthes ye haue boasted against me, and haue multiplied your words against me: I haue heard them.
14
Thus sayth the Lord God, So shall all the world reioyce when I shall make thee desolate.
15
As thou diddest reioyce at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I doe vnto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea wholly, and they shall know, that I am the Lord.
1
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3
and tell it, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.
4
I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
5
“‘“Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have 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,
6
therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you.
7
Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
8
I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.
9
I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
10
“‘“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although the LORD was there,
11
therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
12
You will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’
13
You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”
14
The Lord GOD says: “When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
15
As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
