Ezekiel 35
|
|
| 35:1
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, |
|
| 35:2
Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, |
|
| 35:3
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. |
(35:3-4)
God will kill everyone in the cities, "and thou shalt know that I am the LORD."
|
| 35:4
I will lay thy cities
waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the
LORD. |
|
| 35:5
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: |
|
| 35:6
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. |
(35:6-9)
"And I will fill his mountains with his slain men, and ye shalt know that I am the
LORD."
|
| 35:7
Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that
passeth out and him that returneth. |
|
| 35:8
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. |
|
| 35:9
I will make thee
perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know
that I am the LORD. |
|
| 35:10
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be
mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there: |
|
| 35:11
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. |
(35:11-15)
God will return their own anger and hatred upon them, "and they shall know that I am the
LORD."
|
| 35:12
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. |
|
| 35:13
Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your
words against me: I have heard them. |
|
| 35:14
Thus saith the Lord
GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. |
|
| 35:15
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.
