Ezekiel 35:6-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will hand you over to blood, and blood will pursue you. Even though you have hated blood, blood will pursue you.

7. And I will make mount Seir desolate and deserted. And I will take away from it the one who departs and the one who returns.

8. And I will fill up its mountains with its slain. In your hills, and in your valleys, as well as in your torrents, the slain will fall by the sword.

9. I will hand you over to everlasting desolations, and your cities will not be inhabited. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.

10. For you have said, 'Two nations and two lands will be mine, and I will possess them as an inheritance,' though the Lord was in that place.

11. Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will act in accord with your own wrath, and in accord with your own zeal, by which you have acted with hatred toward them. And I will be made known by them, when I will have judged you.

12. And you shall know that I, the Lord, have heard all your disgraces, which you have spoken about the mountains of Israel, saying: 'They are deserted. They have been given to us to devour.'
