Ezekiel 35:6-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. therefore, as I live, declares the Lord God, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; because you did not hate bloodshed, therefore blood shall pursue you.

7. I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation, and I will cut off from it all who come and go.

8. And I will fill its mountains with the slain. On your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain with the sword shall fall.

9. I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

10. “Because you said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will take possession of them’—although the Lord was there—

11. therefore, as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you according to the anger and envy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And I will make myself known among them, when I judge you.
