35:1 The word of the LORD came to me:
35:2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir; prophesy against it
35:3 and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you and make you a desolate waste.
35:4 I will turn your towns into ruins and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
35:5 “‘Because you harbored an ancient hostility and delivered the Israelites over to the sword at the time of their calamity, the time their punishment reached its climax,
35:6 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.
35:7 I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and cut off from it all who come and go.
35:8 I will fill your mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
35:9 I will make you desolate forever; your towns will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
35:10 “‘Because you have said, “These two nations and countries will be ours and we will take possession of them,” even though I the LORD was there,
35:11 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will treat you in accordance with the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
35:12 Then you will know that I the LORD have heard all the contemptible things you have said against the mountains of Israel. You said, “They have been laid waste and have been given over to us to devour.”
35:13 You boasted against me and spoke against me without restraint, and I heard it.
35:14 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
35:15 Because you rejoiced when the inheritance of the house of Israel became desolate, that is how I will treat you. You will be desolate, O Mount Seir, you and all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
35:1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
35:2 Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
35:3 And say to it, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Indeed I am against you, O Mount Seir, / And I will stretch out My hand against you / And make you a desolation and a waste.
35:4 I will lay your cities waste, / And you will be desolate; / And you will know that I am Jehovah.
35:5 Because you have had a perpetual enmity and handed the children of Israel over to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, in the time of the punishment of the end;
35:6 Therefore, as I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.
35:7 Thus I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation, and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
35:8 And I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain will fall by the sword in your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
35:9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited, and you will know that I am Jehovah.
35:10 Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries will belong to me, and we will possess them ? even though Jehovah was there ?
35:11 Therefore, as I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your jealousy, which you displayed in your hatred of them, and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
35:12 And you will know that I, Jehovah, have heard all your reviling which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are desolate; they have been given to us to devour.
35:13 And you have magnified yourselves against Me with your mouth and multiplied your words against Me; I have heard.
35:14 Thus says the Lord Jehovah, When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
35:15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, O Mount Seir and all Edom, the whole land. Then they will know that I am Jehovah.
