Ezekiel 35

New Living Translation NLT

1 Again a message came to me from the LORD :

2 “Son of man, turn and face Mount Seir, and prophesy against its people.

3 Give them this message from the Sovereign LORD : “I am your enemy, O Mount Seir, and I will raise my fist against you to destroy you completely.

4 I will demolish your cities and make you desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD .

5 “Your eternal hatred for the people of Israel led you to butcher them when they were helpless, when I had already punished them for all their sins.

6 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, since you show no distaste for blood, I will give you a bloodbath of your own. Your turn has come!

7 I will make Mount Seir utterly desolate, killing off all who try to escape and any who return.

8 I will fill your mountains with the dead. Your hills, your valleys, and your ravines will be filled with people slaughtered by the sword.

9 I will make you desolate forever. Your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am the LORD .

10 “For you said, ‘The lands of Israel and Judah will be ours. We will take possession of them. What do we care that the LORD is there!’

11 Therefore, as surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, I will pay back your angry deeds with my own. I will punish you for all your acts of anger, envy, and hatred. And I will make myself known to Israel by what I do to you.

12 Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard every contemptuous word you spoke against the mountains of Israel. For you said, ‘They are desolate; they have been given to us as food to eat!’

13 In saying that, you boasted proudly against me, and I have heard it all!

14 “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The whole world will rejoice when I make you desolate.

15 You rejoiced at the desolation of Israel’s territory. Now I will rejoice at yours! You will be wiped out, you people of Mount Seir and all who live in Edom! Then you will 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!'
