Chapter 35
Against the mountains of Edom
1
The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,
2
‘Son of man, turn towards the mountain of Seir and prophesy against it.
3
Say to it, “The Lord Yahweh says this: Now I set myself against you, mountain of Seir; I am stretching out my hand against you; I am going to reduce you to desert and desolation,
4
I lay your towns in ruins, and make you a desolation, and so you will learn that I am Yahweh.
5
Since, nourishing a long-standing hatred, you betrayed the sons of Israel to the sword during their trouble, at the time of their last crime,
6
very well, as I live – it is the Lord Yahweh who speaks – I mean to hand you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you. I swear it; you have sinned by shedding blood, and bloodshed will pursue you.
7
I intend to reduce the mountain of Seir to desert and desolation, and I will eliminate everyone who travels up and down the country.
8
I shall fill its mountains with corpses; people will fall, struck down by the sword on your hills, in your valleys, in every one of your ravines.
9
I am going to reduce you to desolation, for ever your towns will remain uninhabited, and so you will learn that I am Yahweh.
10
Since you said to the two nations, the two countries:[*a] You belong to me; we are going to take possession here where Yahweh used to be:
11
very well, as I live – it is the Lord Yahweh who speaks – in anger and fury I will do exactly what you did because you hated them. I shall make it clear that I am punishing you on their behalf;
12
then you will know that I, Yahweh, have overheard all the outrageous things you have said about the mountains of Israel, such as: They have been abandoned, they have been left for us to devour.
13
You have talked arrogantly about me, too, you have repeatedly slandered me; I have heard!
14
The Lord Yahweh says this: To the joy of the whole country, I am going to reduce you to desert.
15
Since you rejoiced when the domain of the House of Israel became a desert, I will do the same to you, mountain of Seir; you will become a desert, and so will the whole of Edom; and so men will learn that I am Yahweh.”
