| 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. |
