Ezekiel 35 — Context

And 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.

I will make your towns unpeopled and you will be a waste; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

Because 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:

For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you.

And I will make Mount Seir a cause for wonder and a waste, cutting off from it all comings and goings.

I 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.

I will make you waste for ever, and your towns will be unpeopled: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
