Ezequiel 35
Bible in Basic English
1Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2Son of man, let your face be turned to Mount Seir, and be a prophet against it,
3And say to it, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am against you, O Mount Seir, and my hand will be stretched out against you, and I will make you a waste and a cause for wonder.
4I will make your towns unpeopled and you will be a waste; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
5Because yours has been a hate without end, and you have given up the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their trouble, in the time of the punishment of the end:
6For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you.
7And I will make Mount Seir a cause for wonder and a waste, cutting off from it all comings and goings.
8I will make his mountains full of those who have been put to death; in your valleys and in all your water-streams men will be falling by the sword.
9I will make you waste for ever, and your towns will be unpeopled: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
10Because you have said, The two nations and the two countries are to be mine, and we will take them for our heritage; though the Lord was there:
11For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, I will do to you as you have done in your wrath and in your envy, which you have made clear in your hate for them; and I will make clear to you who I am when you are judged by me.
12And you will see that I the Lord have had knowledge of all the bitter things which you have said against the mountains of Israel, saying, They have been made waste, they are given to us to take for our heritage.
13And you have made yourselves great against me with your mouths, increasing your words against me; and it has come to my ears.
14This is what the Lord has said: Because you were glad over my land when it was a waste, so will I do to you:
15You will become a waste, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
2Hijo del hombre, pon tu rostro hacia el monte de Seir, y profetiza contra él,
3Y dile: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: He aquí yo contra ti, oh monte de Seir, y extenderé mi mano contra ti, y te pondré en asolamiento y en soledad.
4A tus ciudades asolaré, y tú serás asolado; y sabrás que yo soy Jehová.
5Por cuanto tuviste enemistades perpetuas, y esparciste los hijos de Israel á poder de espada en el tiempo de su aflicción, en el tiempo extremadamente malo;
6Por tanto, vivo yo, dice el Señor Jehová, que á sangre te diputaré, y sangre te perseguirá: y pues la sangre no aborreciste, sangre te perseguirá.
7Y pondré al monte de Seir en asolamiento y en soledad, y cortaré de él pasante y volviente.
8Y henchiré sus montes de sus muertos: en tus collados, y en tus valles, y en todos tus arroyos, caerán ellos muertos á cuchillo.
9Yo te pondré en asolamientos perpetuos, y tus ciudades nunca más se restaurarán; y sabréis que yo soy Jehová.
10Por cuanto dijiste: Las dos naciones y las dos tierras serán mías, y las poseeremos, estando allí Jehová;
11Por tanto, vivo yo, dice el Señor Jehová, yo haré conforme á tu ira, y conforme á tu celo con que procediste, á causa de tus enemistades con ellos: y seré conocido en ellos, cuando te juzgaré.
12Y sabrás que yo Jehová he oído todas tus injurias que proferiste contra los montes de Israel, diciendo: Destruídos son, nos son dados á devorar.
13Y os engrandecisteis contra mí con vuestra boca, y multiplicasteis contra mí vuestras palabras. Yo lo oí.
14Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Alegrándose toda la tierra, yo te haré soledad.
15Como te alegraste sobre la heredad de la casa de Israel, porque fué asolada, así te haré á ti: asolado será el monte de Seir, y toda Idumea, toda ella; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.
King James Version
1Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
5Because 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:
6Therefore, 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.
7Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8And 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.
9I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11Therefore, 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.
12And 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 laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15As 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 Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

1Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3and tell it, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.
4I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
5“‘“Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
6therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you.
7Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
8I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.
9I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
10“‘“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although the LORD was there,
11therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
12You will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’
13You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”
14The Lord GOD says: “When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
15As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
