35:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
35:2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy
against it,
35:3 And say to it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount
Seir, I [am] against thee, and I will stretch out my hand
against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
35:4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate,
and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
35:5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed
[the blood of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword
in the time of their calamity, in the time [that their]
iniquity [had] an end:
35:6 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare
thee to blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not
hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
35:7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from
it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
35:8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain [men]: in thy
hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they
fall that are slain with the sword.
35:9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities
shall not return: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
35:10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two
countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the
LORD was there:
35:11 Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do
according to thy anger, and according to thy envy which thou
hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make
myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
35:12 And thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I
have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against
the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they
are given us to consume.
35:13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have
multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].
35:14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I
will make thee desolate.
35:15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of
Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to thee: thou
shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, [even] all of
it: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
