Ezekiel 35:4

Read in context

Ezekiel 35:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it,

3 and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.

4 I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

5 Because you harbored an ancient hatred and delivered the Israelites over to the sword in the time of their disaster at the final stage of their punishment,

6 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.
