Chapter 35 |
| 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. |
