1080 Prophecy of Ezechiel
thee: and whereas thou hast hated blood, blood
shall pursue thee.
7 And I will make mount Seir waste and deso-
late: and I will take away from it him that goeth
and him that returneth.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his men
that are slain: in thy hills, and in thy valleys,
and in thy torrents they shall fall that are slain
with the sword.
9 I will make thee everlasting desolations, and
thy cities shall not be inhabited: and thou shalt
know that I am the Lord God.
10 Because thou hast said: The two nations,
and the two lands shall be mine, and I will pos-
sess them by inheritance: whereas the Lord was
there.
11 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I
will do according to thy wrath, and according to
thy envy, which thou hast exercised in hatred to
them: and I will be made known by them, when
I shall have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I the Lord have
heard all thy reproaches, that thou hast spoken
against the mountains of Israel, saying. They
are desolate, they are given to us to consume.
13 And you rose up against me with your
mouth, and have derogated from me by your
words: I have heard them.
14 Thus saith the Lord God: When the whole
earth shall rejoice, I will make thee a wilderness.
15 As thou hast rejoiced over the inheritance
of the house of Israel, because it was laid waste,
so will I do to thee: thou shalt be laid waste, O
mount Seir, and all Idumea: and they shall know
that I am the Lord.
Chapter 36
And thou son of man, prophesy to the mountains
of Israel, and say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear
the word of the Lord:
2 Thus saith the Lord God: Because the en-
emy hath said to you: Aha, the everlasting
heights are given to us for an inheritance.
3 Therefore prophesy, and say: Thus saith the
Lord God: Because you have been desolate, and
trodden under foot on every side, and made an
inheritance to the rest of the nations, and are
become the subject of the talk, and the reproach
of the people:
4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the
word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God
to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks,
and to the valleys, and to desolate places, and
ruinous walls, and to the cities that are forsaken,
that are spoiled, and derided by the rest of the
nations round about.
5 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: In the
fire of my zeal I have spoken of the rest of the
nations, and of all Edom, who have taken my
land to themselves, for an inheritance with joy,
and with all the heart, and with the mind: and
have cast it out to lay it waste.
6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of
Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills,
to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus saith the
Lord God: Behold I have spoken in my zeal, and
in my indignation, because you have borne the
shame of the Gentiles.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I have
lifted up my hand, that the Gentiles who are
round about you, shall themselves bear their
shame.
8 But as for you, O mountains of Israel, shoot
ye forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my
people of Israel: for they are at hand to come.
