The Bible
Ezekiel Chapter 35
1Moreover the word of ForeverOne
4I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am ForeverOne
5Because 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; 6therefore, as I live, says LordOfMine
7Thus will I make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
8I will fill its mountains with its slain: in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses shall they fall who are slain with the sword.
9I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and you shall know that I am ForeverOne
10Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas ForeverOne
12You shall know that I, ForeverOne
13You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it.
14Thus says LordOfMine
15As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am ForeverOne
