Ezekiel 35:4-5
Ezekiel 35:1-9 The Message (MSG)
GOD’s Message came to me: “Son of man, confront Mount Seir. Prophesy against it! Tell them, ‘GOD, the Master, says: “‘I’m coming down hard on you, Mount Seir. I’m stepping in and turning you to a pile of rubble. I’ll reduce your towns to piles of rocks. There’ll be nothing left of you. Then you’ll realize that I am GOD. “‘I’m doing this because you’ve kept this age-old grudge going against Israel: You viciously attacked them when they were already down, looking their final punishment in the face. Therefore, as sure as I am the living God, I’m lining you up for a real bloodbath. Since you loved blood so much, you’ll be chased by rivers of blood. I’ll reduce Mount Seir to a heap of rubble. No one will either come or go from that place! I’ll blanket your mountains with corpses. Massacred bodies will cover your hills and fill up your valleys and ditches. I’ll reduce you to ruins and all your towns will be ghost towns—population zero. Then you’ll realize that I am GOD.
