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. |
