Ezekiel 35
A short oracle aimed at Mount Seir, that is, Edom. Ezekiel is told to set his face against it: God will make it a desolation and lay its cities waste because of a perpetual hostility that handed Israel over to the sword in the time of its calamity. Watch for the specific charge of opportunism. Edom eyed the two nations, Israel and Judah, as its own to possess, forgetting the line that the LORD was there.
- 1
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
- 2
“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
- 3
and tell it, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.
- 4
I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
- 5
“‘“Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
- 6
therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you.
- 7
Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
- 8
I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses.
- 9
I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
- 10
“‘“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although the LORD was there,
- 11
therefore, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
- 12
You will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’
- 13
You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me. I have heard it.”
- 14
The Lord GOD says: “When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
- 15
As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
- 1
Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:
- 2
Hijo del hombre, pon tu rostro hacia el monte de Seir, y profetiza contra él,
- 3
Y dile: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: He aquí yo contra ti, oh monte de Seir, y extenderé mi mano contra ti, y te pondré en asolamiento y en soledad.
- 4
A tus ciudades asolaré, y tú serás asolado; y sabrás que yo soy Jehová.
- 5
Por cuanto tuviste enemistades perpetuas, y esparciste los hijos de Israel á poder de espada en el tiempo de su aflicción, en el tiempo extremadamente malo;
- 6
Por tanto, vivo yo, dice el Señor Jehová, que á sangre te diputaré, y sangre te perseguirá: y pues la sangre no aborreciste, sangre te perseguirá.
- 7
Y pondré al monte de Seir en asolamiento y en soledad, y cortaré de él pasante y volviente.
- 8
Y henchiré sus montes de sus muertos: en tus collados, y en tus valles, y en todos tus arroyos, caerán ellos muertos á cuchillo.
- 9
Yo te pondré en asolamientos perpetuos, y tus ciudades nunca más se restaurarán; y sabréis que yo soy Jehová.
- 10
Por cuanto dijiste: Las dos naciones y las dos tierras serán mías, y las poseeremos, estando allí Jehová;
- 11
Por tanto, vivo yo, dice el Señor Jehová, yo haré conforme á tu ira, y conforme á tu celo con que procediste, á causa de tus enemistades con ellos: y seré conocido en ellos, cuando te juzgaré.
- 12
Y sabrás que yo Jehová he oído todas tus injurias que proferiste contra los montes de Israel, diciendo: Destruídos son, nos son dados á devorar.
- 13
Y os engrandecisteis contra mí con vuestra boca, y multiplicasteis contra mí vuestras palabras. Yo lo oí.
- 14
Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Alegrándose toda la tierra, yo te haré soledad.
- 15
Como te alegraste sobre la heredad de la casa de Israel, porque fué asolada, así te haré á ti: asolado será el monte de Seir, y toda Idumea, toda ella; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.
A foil for chapter 36
Seir is the dark mirror of the mountains of Israel. Edom gloated that Israel's land was laid desolate and given to them to devour; God answers that when the whole earth rejoices, he will make Seir desolate instead.
This sets up the very next chapter, where those same mountains of Israel are addressed directly and promised restoration.
