"Son of man, look toward Mount Seir, and speak against it for me.

Say to it, 'This is what the Lord God says: "'I am against you, Mount Seir! I will punish you and make you an empty wasteland.

Ezekiel 35 : 4 (ERVEN)

I will destroy your cities, and you will become empty. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Why? Because you have always been against my people. You used your sword against Israel at the time of their trouble, at the time of their final punishment.'"

Ezekiel 35 : 6 (ERVEN)

So the Lord God says, "I promise by my own life that I will let death have you. Death will chase you. You did not hate killing people, so death will chase you.

Ezekiel 35 : 7 (ERVEN)

I will make Mount Seir an empty ruin. I will kill everyone who enters or leaves that city.

I will cover its mountains with those who are killed. There will be dead bodies all over your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.

Ezekiel 35 : 9 (ERVEN)

I will make you empty forever. No one will live in your cities. Then you will know that I am the Lord."

You said, "These two nations and countries, Israel and Judah, will be mine. We will take them for our own." But the Lord is there!

Ezekiel 35 : 11 (ERVEN)

And the Lord God says, "You were jealous of my people. You were angry and hateful to them. So by my life, I swear that I will punish you the same way you hurt them! I will punish you and let my people know that I am with them.

Ezekiel 35 : 12 (ERVEN)

And then you, too, will know that I have heard all your insults. You said many bad things against the mountain of Israel. You said, 'Israel has been destroyed! We will chew them up like food!'

Ezekiel 35 : 13 (ERVEN)

And you were proud and said things against me. You spoke too many times and I have heard every word you said. Yes, I heard you."

This is what the Lord God says: "All the earth will be happy when I destroy you.

Ezekiel 35 : 15 (ERVEN)

You were happy when the country of Israel was destroyed. I will treat you the same way. Mount Seir and the whole country of Edom will be destroyed. Then you will know that I am the Lord."
