Ezekiel 35

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, set your face against Mount Se`ir, and prophesy against it,

3 and tell it, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, Mount Se`ir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.

4 I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

5 Because you have had a perpetual enmity, and have given over the children of Yisra'el to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;

6 therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will prepare you to blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

7 Thus will I make Mount Se`ir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.

8 I will fill its mountains with its slain: in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses shall they fall who are slain with the sword.

9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

10 Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

11 therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge you.

12 You shall know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Yisra'el, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour.

13 You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it.

14 Thus says the Lord GOD: When the whole eretz rejoices, I will make you desolate.

15 As you did rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Yisra'el, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, Mount Se`ir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God's Message came to me:

2 "Son of man, confront Mount Seir. Prophesy against it!

3 Tell them, 'God, the Master, says: "'I'm coming down hard on you, Mount Seir. I'm stepping in and turning you to a pile of rubble.

4 I'll reduce your towns to piles of rocks. There'll be nothing left of you. Then you'll realize that I am God.

5 "'I'm doing this because you've kept this age-old grudge going against Israel: You viciously attacked them when they were already down, looking their final punishment in the face.

6 Therefore, as sure as I am the living God, I'm lining you up for a real bloodbath. Since you loved blood so much, you'll be chased by rivers of blood.

7 I'll reduce Mount Seir to a heap of rubble. No one will either come or go from that place!

8 I'll blanket your mountains with corpses. Massacred bodies will cover your hills and fill up your valleys and ditches.

9 I'll reduce you to ruins and all your towns will be ghost towns - population zero. Then you'll realize that I am God.

10 "'Because you said, "These two nations, these two countries, are mine. I'm taking over" (even though God is right there watching, right there listening),

11 I'll turn your hate-bloated anger and rage right back on you. You'll know I mean business when I bring judgment on you.

12 You'll realize then that I, God, have overheard all the vile abuse you've poured out against the mountains of Israel, saying, "They're roadkill and we're going to eat them up."

13 You've strutted around, talking so big, insolently pitting yourselves against me. And I've heard it all.

14 "'This is the verdict of God, the Master: With the whole earth applauding, I'll demolish you.

15 Since you danced in the streets, thinking it was so wonderful when Israel's inheritance was demolished, I'll give you the same treatment: demolition. Mount Seir demolished - yes, every square inch of Edom. Then they'll realize that I am God!'
