Ezekiel 35:5
Compare all
3 and say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against you;
aI will stretch out My hand against you,
And make you1 most desolate; 
4 I shall lay your cities waste,
And you shall be desolate.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord.
5 a“Because you have had an1 ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, bwhen their iniquity came to an end,  
6 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will prepare you for ablood, and blood shall pursue you; bsince you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.  
7 Thus I will make Mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it the aone who leaves and the one who returns.  
8 And I will fill its mountains with the slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those who are slain by the sword shall fall.

Ezekiel 35:5

Shed blood - Omit "blood:" better as in the margin, i. e., and hast given up the children of Israel to the sword; thou hast scattered the children of Israel in confusion like stones poured down a mountain-side Micah 1:6.

That their iniquity had an end - Or, "of the iniquity of the end," i. e., the time when by the capture of the city the iniquity of Israel came to an end Ezekiel 21:29.
