Ezekiel 35

1Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

1Another message from the LORD came to me:

2Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

2'Son of man, turn your face toward Mount Seir and prophesy against it.

3and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.

3Say to it: This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am your enemy, Mount Seir! I will raise my hand against you and turn you into a desolate wasteland.

4I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.

4I will destroy your towns, and you will become a desert. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

5Because thou hast had a perpetual enmity, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;

5You have always been an enemy to Israel. You let them be killed by the sword when they were in deep trouble during their final time of punishment.激

6therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.

6Therefore, as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will give you over to bloodshed, and it will hunt you down. Since you did not hate violence, violence will pursue you.

7Thus will I make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth.

7I will make Mount Seir a total wasteland and kill everyone who tries to travel through it.

8And I will fill its mountains with its slain: in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

8I will fill your mountains with dead bodies. Those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.

9I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

9I will make you a wasteland forever. No one will live in your cities again. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

10Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Jehovah was there:

10You said, "These two nations and these two lands will be ours; we will take them over," even though the LORD was already there.

11therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast showed out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.

11Therefore, as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will treat you with the same anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred toward them. I will make myself known by how I judge you.

12And thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour.

12Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard all the insults you spoke against the mountains of Israel. You said, "They are destroyed! They have been given to us to eat up!"

13And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it.

13You spoke arrogantly against me and said many things against me. I heard everything.

14Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

14This is what the Sovereign LORD says: While the whole earth is happy and celebrating, I will make you a wasteland.

15As thou didst rejoice over 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 Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.

15Because you were happy when the land given to the people of Israel was destroyed, I will do the same to you. You will become a wasteland, Mount Seir, along with the entire land of Edom. Then everyone will know that I am the LORD.'
