Ezekiel 35:3

Judgment on Mount Seir

1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, set your face against ^aMount Seir and ^bprophesy against it,

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.

9 ^aI will make you perpetually desolate, and your cities shall be uninhabited; ^bthen you shall know that I am the Lord.

10 “Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will ^apossess them,’ although ^bthe Lord was there,

11 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will do ^aaccording to your anger and according to the envy which you showed in your hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
