Ezekiel

Ezekiel 35:2–7

2“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it, 3and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says:

Behold, I am against you,

O Mount Seir.

I will stretch out My hand against you

and make you a desolate waste.

4I will turn your cities into ruins,

and you will become a desolation.

Then you will know that I am the LORD.

5Because you harbored an ancient hatred and delivered the Israelites over to the sword in the time of their disaster at the final stage of their punishment, 6therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.

7I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.
