35:1   The LORD said:

35:2   Ezekiel, son of man, condemn the people of Edom

35:3   and say to them: I, the LORD God, am now your enemy! And I will turn your nation into an empty wasteland,

35:4   leaving your towns in ruins. Your land will be a desert, and then you will know that I am the LORD.

35:5   People of Edom, not only have you been Israel's longtime enemy, you simply watched when disaster wiped out its people as punishment for their sins.

35:6   And so, as surely as I am the living LORD God, you are guilty of murder and must be put to death.

35:7   I will destroy your nation and kill anyone who travels through it.

35:8   Dead bodies will cover your mountains and fill up your valleys,

35:9   and your land will lie in ruins forever. No one will live in your towns ever again. You will know that I am the LORD.

35:10   You thought the nations of Judah and Israel belonged to you, and that you could take over their territory. But I am their God,

35:11   and as surely as I live, I will punish you for treating my people with anger and hatred. Then they will know that I, the LORD, am punishing you!

35:12   And you will finally realize that I heard you laugh at their destruction and say their land was yours to take.

35:13   You even insulted me, but I heard it all.

35:14   Everyone on earth will celebrate when I destroy you,

35:15   just as you celebrated when Israel was destroyed. Your nation of Edom will be nothing but a wasteland. Then everyone will know that I am the LORD.
