Ezekiel, 35

1. The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,

1. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2. 'Son of man, turn towards Mount Seir and prophesy against it.

2. Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

3. Say to it, "The Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I am against you, Mount Seir; I shall stretch out my hand against you; I shall make you a desolate waste;

3. And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I [am] against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

4. I shall lay your towns in ruins. You will become a waste and you will know that I am Yahweh.

4. I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

5. Since, following a long-standing hatred, you betrayed the Israelites to the sword on the day of their distress, on the day when an end came for their guilt,

5. Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed [the blood of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an end:

6. very well, as I live -- declares the Lord Yahweh -- I destine you to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you. I swear it; you have incurred guilt by shedding blood, and bloodshed will pursue you.

6. Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

7. I shall make Mount Seir a desolate waste and denude it of anyone travelling to and fro.

7. Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

8. I shall fill its mountains with its slaughtered; on your hills, in your valleys and in all your ravines, those slaughtered by the sword will fall.

8. And I will fill his mountains with his slain [men]: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

9. I shall make you a perpetual waste, your towns will never be inhabited again, and you will know that I am Yahweh.

9. I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

10. "Since you said: The two nations and the two countries will be mine; we are going to take possession of it, although Yahweh was there,

10. Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

11. very well, as I live -- declares the Lord Yahweh -- I shall act with the same anger and jealousy as you acted in your hatred for them. I shall make myself known for their sake, when I punish you,

11. Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.

12. and you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the blasphemies which you have uttered against the mountains of Israel, such as: They have been laid waste, they have been given to us for us to devour.

12. And thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

13. Great was your insolence towards me, many your speeches against me; I have heard!

13. Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].

14. Lord Yahweh says this: To the joy of the whole world, I shall make you a waste.

14. Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

15. Since you rejoiced because the heritage of the House of Israel had been laid waste, I shall do the same to you, Mount Seir; and you will become a waste, and so will the whole of Edom; and they will know that I am Yahweh.' "

15. As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, [even] all of it: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Notas de rodapé:

35:1-9 - God declares judgment against Edom, which rejoiced at Israel's destruction. Edom represents God's enemies, and Edom's fall symbolizes God's justice against those who oppose His people (see also Obadiah 1:10-16 and Jeremiah 49:7-22).

35:10-15 - God promises to completely destroy Edom, showing that He repays according to the actions of the nations. God's justice is impartial, and those who harm His people will experience His judgment (see also Isaiah 34:8-17 and Zephaniah 2:8-10).

Ezekiel chapter 35 prophesies against Mount Seir (Edom). Why does God judge this neighboring nation? This incisive text condemns Edom for its perpetual hatred of Israel and its joy in the face of Judah's calamity. The chapter addresses themes such as divine vengeance, the consequences of hatred, and God's faithfulness to His covenant. Ezekiel 35 also highlights the holiness of God's name.

Obadiah 1:10: "Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever." - This verse echoes the prophecy against Edom in Ezekiel 35, highlighting divine judgment against Israel's enemies.

Psalms 137:7: "Remember, Lord, the Edomites and what they did when Jerusalem was destroyed, when they shouted, 'Destroy it! Demolish it to its foundations!'" - This psalm reflects Edom's hostility toward Israel, a central theme in Ezekiel 35.

Malachi 1:3-4: "But I rejected Esau and made his mountains a desert and left his inheritance to the jackals of the desert. Although Edom says, 'We have been crushed, but we will rebuild the ruins,' thus says the Lord of hosts: They may build, but I will tear down." - This prophecy against Edom complements the message of Ezekiel 35, emphasizing the impossibility of Edom prospering against God's will.

The sword of the Lord is bathed in blood and covered with fat." - This passage from Isaiah presents a similar judgment against Edom, reinforcing the message of Ezekiel 35.

Jeremiah 49:17-18: "Edom will become an object of astonishment; all who pass by it will be shocked and mock all its wounds. Just as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, with the neighboring cities, says the Lord, no one will live there; no one will live in it." - Jeremiah prophesies the destruction of Edom in a similar way to Ezekiel 35, emphasizing the utter desolation.
