CHAPTER 35 The Prophecy against Mount Seir

1 And [³came ¹the word ²of the lord] to me, saying, 2 O son of man, turn your face against mount Seir, and prophesy unto it! 3 And say to it! Thus says the Lord the lord; Behold, I am against you mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you into a wilderness, and you shall be made desolate. 4 And [²your cities ³desolate ¹I will make], and you will be a wilderness, and you shall know that I am the lord. 5 Because you became [²enemy ¹an eternal], and sat in place against the house of Israel with treachery, by the hand of enemies with a sword, in time of iniquity, at the last. 6 On account of this, as I live, says the Lord the lord; Since [²unto ³blood ¹you sinned], even blood shall pursue you. And blood you detested, even blood shall pursue you. 7 And I will appoint mount Seir for a wilderness, and for being made desolate; and I will destroy from it men and beasts. 8 And I will fill up [⁴of the ⁵slain ¹your hills ²and ³your ravines]; and in all your plains ones being slain by the sword shall fall among you. 9 [⁴desolation ³an eternal ¹I will establish ²you], and your cities no way shall be inhabited any longer. And you shall know that I am the lord. 10 On account of your saying, The two nations, and the two places will be mine, and I shall inherit them, and the lord is there. 11 On account of this, as I live, says the lord; Even I will do to you according to your hatred, and according to your zeal which you did in your detesting them; and I shall be known to you whenever I judge you. 12 And you shall know that I am the lord. I heard the voice of your blasphemies. That you said, The [²mountains ³of Israel ¹wilderness ⁵to us ⁴have been given] for a thing to be devoured. 13 And you spoke great words against me with your mouth; and you called out loud against me -- your words I heard. 14 Thus says the lord; In the gladness of all the earth, [³a wilderness ¹I will make ²you]. 15 As you were glad in the inheritance of the house of Israel, that it was obliterated, thus I shall do you. For you will be a wilderness, O mount Seir, and all Edom shall be completely consumed. And you shall know that I am the lord God.
