King James VersionEzekiel35

Ezekiel

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.
