Ezekiel 35:9-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

9. An everlasting desolation I will make you, and your cities will not return, and you will know that I am Yahweh.

10. I do this because of your saying, ‘The two nations and the two lands, they will be mine, and we will take possession of it,’ and yet Yahweh was there.

11. Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord Yahweh, “so I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your jealousy that you did, because of your hatred against them, and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.

12. And you will know that I, Yahweh, I have heard all of your contemptible words that you said against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They will be desolate; they are given to us as food.’

13. And you magnified yourself against me with your insolent speech, and you spoke voluminously against me with your words—I heard!

14. Thus the Lord Yahweh says, ‘As the whole world rejoices, I will make you a desolation.

15. Like your rejoicing over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, I will do to you; you will be a desolation, mountain of Seir and all of Edom, indeed all of it; and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ” ’
