KJ3 Literal Translation
Ezekiel 35
Mount Seir's judgment for their hatred of Israel.
1And the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,
2Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it.
3And say to it, So says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out My hand against you, and I will give you to be a ruin and a waste.
4I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be a ruin. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
5Because there was to you never-ending enmity, and you poured out the sons of Israel onto the hands of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end.
6Therefore, As I live, a statement of the Lord Jehovah, Surely for blood I appoint you, and blood shall pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, so blood shall pursue you.
7And I will give Mount Seir to be a ruin and a waste, and cut off from it the one passing through, and the one returning.
8And I will fill his mountains with his pierced ones. In your hills and in your valleys, and in all your torrents, the pierced ones by the sword shall fall in them.
9I will give your ruins to be forever, and your cities shall not be inhabited. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.
10Because you have said, These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we shall possess it. And Jehovah was there,
11so, As I live, a statement of the Lord Jehovah, I will work by your anger, and by your envy which you have done out of your hating against them, and I will be known among them when I have judged you.
12And you shall know that I am Jehovah. I have heard all your revilings which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, Desolation! They are given to us for food!
13And you magnified with your mouth against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; I have heard.
14So says the Lord Jehovah: As all the earth rejoices, I will make you a ruin.
15As you rejoiced at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of it being a ruin, so I will do to you. You shall be a ruin, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it! And they shall know that I am Jehovah.
