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. |
