| Chapter 35 |
1 |
And there is a word of Yehovah unto me, saying: |
2 |
`Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, |
3 |
and thou hast said to it: Thus said the Lord Yehovah: Lo, I am against thee, O mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand against thee, And made thee a desolation and an astonishment. |
4 |
Thy cities a waste I make, and thou art a desolation, And thou hast known that I am Yehovah. |
5 |
Because of thy having an enmity age-during, And thou dost saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end: |
6 |
Therefore, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Yehovah, Surely for blood I do appoint thee, And blood doth pursue thee, If blood thou hast not hated, Blood also doth pursue thee. |
7 |
And I have given mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning, |
8 |
And filled his mountains with his wounded, Thy hills, and thy valleys, and all thy streams, The pierced of the sword fall into them. |
9 |
Desolations age-during I make thee, And thy cities do not return, And ye have known that I am Yehovah. |
10 |
Because of thy saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, And Yehovah hath been there; |
11 |
Therefore, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Yehovah, And I have done according to thine anger, And according to thine envy, With which thou hast wrought, Because of thy hatred against them, And I have been known among them when I judge thee. |
12 |
And thou hast known that I -- Yehovah, I have heard all thy despisings that thou hast spoken Against mountains of Israel, saying: A desolation, to us they were given for food. |
13 |
And ye magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And have made abundant against Me your words, I -- I have heard. |
14 |
Thus said the Lord Yehovah: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, A desolation I make of thee. |
15 |
According to thy joy at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of desolation, So I do to thee -- a desolation thou art, O mount Seir, and all Edom -- all of it, And they have known that I am Yehovah! |
