Ezekiel 35

Prophecy Against Mount Seir

1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 *See ch. 2:1"Son of man, *See ch. 6:2set your face *ch. 25:12;Isa. 21:11,12;Amos 1:11;Mal. 1:4against *ch. 25:8;Gen. 32:3Mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3 and say to it, Thus says the Lord God: *See ch. 13:8Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and *See ch. 6:14I will stretch out my hand against you, *[ch. 33:28]and I will make you a desolation and a waste. 4 *[Isa. 17:9;27:10]I will lay your cities waste, and you shall become a desolation, and you shall know that I am the Lord. 5 Because *[Ps. 137:7;Amos 1:11] you cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword *Obad. 13at the time of their calamity, *ch. 21:25at the time of their final punishment, 6 therefore, *See ch. 16:48as I live, declares the Lord God, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; *See Gen. 9:6because you did not hate bloodshed, therefore blood shall pursue you. 7 *[See ver. 3above] I will make Mount Seir a waste *[See ver. 4above] and a desolation, and I will cut off from it *ch. 29:11all who come and go. 8 And I will fill *[ch. 31:12] its mountains with the slain. On your hills and in your valleys and in all *[ch. 31:12] your ravines *ch. 31:17,18;32:20,21those slain with the sword shall fall. 9 *[See ver. 3above] I will make you a perpetual desolation, and *[See ver. 4above] your cities shall not be inhabited. Then *See ch. 6:7you will know that I am the Lord.

10 "Because you said, *[ch. 37:22] ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and *[ch. 36:2,3,5;Ps. 83:6,12] we will take possession of them’—although the *See ch. 48:35Lord was there— 11 therefore, *[See ver. 6above] as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you *[ver. 15;Matt. 7:2] according to the anger and *[ver. 15;Matt. 7:2] envy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And *[ver. 9]I will make myself known among them, when I judge you. 12 And you shall know that I am the Lord.

*[2 Kgs. 19:4,28] "I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are laid desolate; *[ver. 10]they are given us to devour.’ 13 And *[See ver. 12above] you magnified yourselves against me *[1 Sam. 2:3]with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it. 14 Thus says the Lord God: *[Isa. 65:13,14]While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. 15 As you *ch. 36:5;Ps. 137:7rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, *ver. 2Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then *See ch. 6:7they will know that I am the Lord.
