Ezekiel 35

35 Yahweh gave me another message. He said, 2 “Mortal man, turn toward Mount Seir in the land of Edom and prophesy against the people there. 3 Tell them, ‘This is what I, the Lord Yahweh, say: Listen, you people who live around Mount Seir! I am your enemy! I will punish you by turning your land into an empty wasteland where no one lives. 4 I will turn your cities into heaps of rubble, and as for your land, it will become empty. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

5 You have always hated the Israelites, and you delivered them over to soldiers who killed them with swords. You did that when terrible things were happening to them, at the time when I finally punished them for their sins. 6 Therefore, I swear by my own life— this is what I, the Lord Yahweh, declare—that I will deliver you over to people who will kill you, and killers will pursue you. I swear that because you hated the life of your kinsmen, killers will pursue you. 7 I will make the region of Mount Seir a completely desolate area. I will even destroy anyone who travels back and forth through it. 8 I will cover your mountains with the corpses of people whom your enemies will kill. Those whom soldiers kill with their swords will lie dead on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your stream beds. 9 I will make your land empty forever; no one will ever live in your cities again. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

10 You said that the two nations, Israel and Judah, and their two lands would belong to you, and that you would take possession of them. You said that even though I, Yahweh, was present there. 11 Therefore, I swear by my own life— this is what I, the Lord Yahweh, declare—that I will treat you as harshly as you treated my people when you were angry at them and envied them because you hated them. The Israelites will know who I am by how I judge you. 12 Then you will also know that I am Yahweh. I have heard all of the insulting things that you said about the land of Israel. You said that no one lived there anymore and that you could now take it and everything in it for yourselves. 13 You Edomites boasted arrogantly against me and said many things to insult me, and I myself heard all of it.

14 This is what I, the Lord Yahweh, say: When I devastate your land, people all over the world will rejoice. 15 Just as you rejoiced when the land that I gave to the Israelites became desolate, I will do the same thing to you. Mount Seir and all the rest of Edom will become completely empty. Then people will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
