Ezekiel 35:1-6

1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

2 fili hominis pone faciem tuam adversum montem Seir et prophetabis de eo et dices illi

3 haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego ad te mons Seir et extendam manum meam super te et dabo te desolatum atque desertum

4 urbes tuas demoliar et tu desertus eris et scies quia ego Dominus

5 eo quod fueris inimicus sempiternus et concluseris filios Israhel in manus gladii in tempore adflictionis eorum in tempore iniquitatis extremae

6 propterea vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus quoniam sanguini tradam te et sanguis te persequetur et cum sanguinem oderis sanguis persequetur te
