Ezekiel 35

New Revised Standard NRS

1 The word of the Lord came to me:

2 Mortal, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

3 and say to it, Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, Mount Seir; I stretch out my hand against you to make you a desolation and a waste.

4 I lay your towns in ruins; you shall become a desolation, and you shall know that I am the Lord.

5 Because you cherished an ancient enmity, and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment;

6 therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed shall pursue you.

7 I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation; and I will cut off from it all who come and go.

8 I will fill its mountains with the slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses those killed with the sword shall fall.

9 I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall never be inhabited. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.

10 Because you said, "These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will take possession of them,"—although the Lord was there—

11 therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, I will deal with you according to the anger and envy that you showed because of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among you, when I judge you.

12 You shall know that I, the Lord, have heard all the abusive speech that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, "They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour."

13 And you magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it.

14 Thus says the Lord God: As the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, let your face be turned to Mount Seir, and be a prophet against it,

3 And say to it, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am against you, O Mount Seir, and my hand will be stretched out against you, and I will make you a waste and a cause for wonder.

4 I will make your towns unpeopled and you will be a waste; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

5 Because yours has been a hate without end, and you have given up the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their trouble, in the time of the punishment of the end:

6 For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you.

7 And I will make Mount Seir a cause for wonder and a waste, cutting off from it all comings and goings.

8 I will make his mountains full of those who have been put to death; in your valleys and in all your water-streams men will be falling by the sword.

9 I will make you waste for ever, and your towns will be unpeopled: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

10 Because you have said, The two nations and the two countries are to be mine, and we will take them for our heritage; though the Lord was there:

11 For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, I will do to you as you have done in your wrath and in your envy, which you have made clear in your hate for them; and I will make clear to you who I am when you are judged by me.

12 And you will see that I the Lord have had knowledge of all the bitter things which you have said against the mountains of Israel, saying, They have been made waste, they are given to us to take for our heritage.

13 And you have made yourselves great against me with your mouths, increasing your words against me; and it has come to my ears.

14 This is what the Lord has said: Because you were glad over my land when it was a waste, so will I do to you:

15 You will become a waste, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
