Ezekiel 35:2-6
New American Standard Bible
3and say to it, ‘This is what the Lord God says: 'Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, And I will reach out with My hand against you And make you a desolation and a waste.
4I will turn your cities to ruins, And you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5Since you have had everlasting hostility and have turned over the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of the punishment of the end,
6therefore as I live,' declares the Lord God, 'I will certainly doom you to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.
King James Version
Chapter 35
2Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3And 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. 4I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
5Because 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:
6Therefore, 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.

4I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5"‘Because you maintained a perpetual hatred and gave the Israelites over to the power of the sword in the time of their disaster, the time of final punishment,
6therefore, as I live—this is the declaration of the Lord God —I will destine you for bloodshed, and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.

2"Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir; prophesy against it 3and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you and make you a desolate waste. 4I will turn your towns into ruins and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5" ‘Because you harbored an ancient hostility and delivered the Israelites over to the sword at the time of their calamity, the time their punishment reached its climax,
