New Testament

Ezekiel 35:9-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

9. I will hand you over to everlasting desolations, and your cities will not be inhabited. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.

10. For you have said, 'Two nations and two lands will be mine, and I will possess them as an inheritance,' though the Lord was in that place.

11. Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will act in accord with your own wrath, and in accord with your own zeal, by which you have acted with hatred toward them. And I will be made known by them, when I will have judged you.

12. And you shall know that I, the Lord, have heard all your disgraces, which you have spoken about the mountains of Israel, saying: 'They are deserted. They have been given to us to devour.'

13. And you rose up against me with your mouth, and you disparaged against me with your words. I have heard.

14. Thus says the Lord God: When the whole earth will rejoice, I will reduce you to solitude.

15. Just as you have rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, when it was laid waste, so will I act toward you. You will be laid waste, O mount Seir, with all of Idumea. And they shall know that I am the Lord."
