Chapter 35.
Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
I am the Lord, 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.
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood,
and blood shall pursue thee.
Sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
Thus will I make Mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out
and him that returneth.
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.
I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return,
and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine,
and we will possess it, whereas the Lord was there.
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger
and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them.
And I will make myself known among them when I have judged thee.
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 lay
desolate, they are given us to consume.
Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words
against me, I have heard them.
Thus saith the Lord God, When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee
desolate, as thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel,
because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee.
Thou shalt be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all Edumena, even all of it,
and they shall know that I am the Lord.
