Ezekiel 35:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ I will lay your cities waste, and you shall become a desolation; and you shall know that I am the Lord. ⁵ Because you cherished perpetual enmity, and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment; ⁶ therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; because you are guilty of blood,^[a] therefore blood shall pursue you.
