ΙΕΖΕΚΙΗΛ · 35

Brenton 35:1

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Brenton 35:2

Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

Brenton 35:3

and say to it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and will make thee a waste, and thou shalt be made desolate.

Brenton 35:4

And I will cause desolation in thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Brenton 35:5

Because thou hast been a perpetual enemy, and hast laid wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last:

Brenton 35:6

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, verily thou hast sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.

Brenton 35:7

And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:

Brenton 35:8

and I will fill thy hills and thy valleys with slain men, and in all thy plains there shall fall in thee men slain with the sword.

Brenton 35:9

I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited any more: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Brenton 35:10

Because thou saidst, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there:

Brenton 35:11

therefore, as I live, saith the Lord, I will even deal with thee according to thine enmity, and I will be made known to thee when I shall judge thee:

Brenton 35:12

and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of thy blasphemies, whereas thou hast said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;

Brenton 35:13

and thou hast spoken swelling words against me with thy mouth: I have heard them.

Brenton 35:14

Thus saith the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make thee desert.

Brenton 35:15

Thou shalt be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord their God.
