4 “I will destroy your cities And you will become a wasteland. Then you shall know [without any doubt] that I am the LORD. 5 Because you [descendants of Esau] have had an everlasting hatred [for Jacob (Israel)] and you handed over the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their tragedy, at the time of their final punishment [the Babylonian conquest], 6 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will hand you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you since you have not hated bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you. 7 I will make Mount Seir (Edom) a ruin and a desolate wasteland and I will cut off from it the one who passes through it and the one who returns. 8 I will fill its mountains with its slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, and in your valleys, and in all your ravines. 9 I will make you an everlasting desolation and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know [without any doubt] that I am the LORD. Ezekiel 35:4-9, Amplified Bible. Copyright © 2015 by The Lockman Foundation.
