Ezekiel 35:3-9 ▼

3 Say to it, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: |'Look, I am against you, Mount Seir; I will stretch out my hand against you and turn you into a desolate ruin.

4 I will lay waste your cities; and you will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD!

5 |'You have shown unrelenting hostility and poured the people of Israel onto the blades of a sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment.

6 Therefore, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign LORD, I will subject you to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.

7 I will turn Mount Seir into a desolate ruin; I will cut off from it the one who passes through or returns.

8 I will fill its mountains with its dead; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines, those killed by the sword will fall.

9 I will turn you into a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
