Ezekiel 35:6

I will prepare thee unto blood—I will expose thee to slaughter.

sith—old English for "seeing that" or "since."

thou hast not hated blood—The Hebrew order is, "thou hast hated not blood"; that is, thou couldst not bear to live without bloodshed [GROTIUS]. There is a play on similar sounds in the Hebrew; Edom resembling dam, the Hebrew for "blood"; as "Edom" means "red," the transition to "blood" is easy. Edom, akin to blood in name, so also in nature and acts; "blood therefore shall pursue thee." The measure which Edom meted to others should be meted to himself (Psalms 109:17; Matthew 7:2; Matthew 26:52).
