35 Herrens Ord kom til mig således: Menneskesøn, vend dit Ansigt mod Seirs Bjergland og profeter imod det og sig til det: Så siger den Herre Herren: Se, jeg kommer over dig, Seirs Bjergland, og løfter min Hånd imod dig; jeg gør dig til Ørk og Ødemark, dine Byer lægger jeg i Grus. Du selv skal blive til Ørk og kende, at jeg er Herren. Fordi du nærede evigt Had og i Nødens Stund overgav Israeliterne til Sværdet, da deres Misgerning var fuldmoden, derfor, så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre Herren: Jeg gør dig til Blod, og Blod skal forfølge dig; sandelig, du forbrød dig ved Blod, og Blod skal forfølge dig.

Jeg gør Seirs Bjergland til Ørk og Ødemark og udrydder deraf enhver, som kommer og går; jeg fylder dets Bjerge med dræbte; på dine Høje og i dine Dale og Kløfter skal de sværdslagne falde. Jeg gør dig til Ørk for evigt, dine Byer skal ikke bebos; og du skal kende, at jeg er Herren. 10 Fordi du sagde: "De tvende Folk og de tvende Lande skal tilhøre mig, jeg vil tage dem i Eje!" skønt Herren var der, 11 derfor, så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra den Herre Herren: Jeg vil gøre med dig efter den Vrede og det Nid, du hadefuldt udviste imod dem, og jeg vil give mig til Hende for dig, når jeg dømmer dig; 12 og du skal kende, at jeg er Herren. Jeg har hørt al den Spot, du udslyngede mod Israels Bjerge: "De er ødelagt, os er de givet til Føde!" 13 Du gjorde dig stor imod mig med din Mund og overfusede mig med Ord; jeg hørte det.

14 Så siger den Herre Herren: Som det var din Glæde, at mit Land blev Ørk, således vil jeg gøre med dig; 15 som det var din Glæde, at Israels Huss Arvelod blev Ørk, således vil jeg gøre med dig. Ørk skal du blive, Seirs Bjergland og hele Edom med; og de skal kende, at jeg er Herren.

Dom over Edom

35 Herren sagde til mig: „Du menneske, ret blikket mod Seirs bjerg og profetér imod Edoms folk:

Jeg er imod jer, Seirs stolte bjerge. Jeg løfter min hånd for at straffe jer og gøre jeres land til en ødemark. Jeg jævner jeres byer med jorden og lægger hele landet øde, så I kan forstå, at jeg er Herren.

I har altid hadet mit folk, Israel. I overfaldt dem og sablede dem ned, dengang jeg var nødt til at straffe dem. Så sandt jeg lever, siger Herren: I elsker at se blod, og I skal få blod at se, for nu kommer turen til jer. Jeg gør Seirs bjerge til ødemark og udrydder folket, som færdes der. Jeg sørger for, at bjergsider, dale og vandløb bliver fyldt med lig. Landet bliver en ødemark for evigt, og ingen skal bo i byerne igen. Da skal I indse, at jeg er Herren.

10 I rykkede ud mod Israel og Juda for at erobre dem, selvom I vidste, at jeg var deres Gud. 11 Så sandt jeg lever, vil jeg straffe jer på grund af jeres vrede, had og jalousi, og I skal erkende, at det er mig, Herren, som griber ind og dømmer jer. 12 Da skal I indse, at jeg hørte hvert eneste hånende ord, I udtalte imod Israels bjerge, da I mente, at de lå øde hen, og at I derfor havde ret til at besætte dem. 13 I hånede mig med de mange ord, I udtalte imod mig. Men jeg hørte det alt sammen.

14 Gud Herren siger: Hele verden vil fryde sig over jeres undergang. 15 I frydede jer over Israels sørgelige skæbne. Nu er det min tur til at fryde mig over jeres, for I vil blive udryddet, alle I folk i Seirs bjerge og i hele Edom. Da skal I indse, at jeg er Herren.

A Prophecy Against Edom

35 The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir;(A) prophesy against it and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand(B) against you and make you a desolate waste.(C) I will turn your towns into ruins(D) and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the Lord.(E)

“‘Because you harbored an ancient hostility and delivered the Israelites over to the sword(F) at the time of their calamity,(G) the time their punishment reached its climax,(H) therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will give you over to bloodshed(I) and it will pursue you.(J) Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you. I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste(K) and cut off from it all who come and go.(L) I will fill your mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.(M) I will make you desolate forever;(N) your towns will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.(O)

10 “‘Because you have said, “These two nations and countries will be ours and we will take possession(P) of them,” even though I the Lord was there, 11 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will treat you in accordance with the anger(Q) and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.(R) 12 Then you will know that I the Lord have heard all the contemptible things you have said against the mountains of Israel. You said, “They have been laid waste and have been given over to us to devour.(S) 13 You boasted(T) against me and spoke against me without restraint, and I heard it.(U) 14 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.(V) 15 Because you rejoiced(W) when the inheritance of Israel became desolate, that is how I will treat you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir,(X) you and all of Edom.(Y) Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

Judgment on Mount Seir

35 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against (A)Mount Seir and (B)prophesy against it, and say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against you;
(C)I will stretch out My hand against you,
And make you [a]most desolate;
I shall lay your cities waste,
And you shall be desolate.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord.

(D)“Because you have had an [b]ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, (E)when their iniquity came to an end, therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will prepare you for (F)blood, and blood shall pursue you; (G)since you have not hated [c]blood, therefore blood shall pursue you. Thus I will make Mount Seir [d]most desolate, and cut off from it the (H)one who leaves and the one who returns. And I will fill its mountains with the slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those who are slain by the sword shall fall. (I)I will make you [e]perpetually desolate, and your cities shall be uninhabited; (J)then you shall know that I am the Lord.

10 “Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will (K)possess them,’ although (L)the Lord was there, 11 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will do (M)according to your anger and according to the envy which you showed in your hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you. 12 (N)Then you shall know that I am the Lord. I have (O)heard all your (P)blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to consume.’ 13 Thus (Q)with your mouth you have [f]boasted against Me and multiplied your (R)words against Me; I have heard them.

14 ‘Thus says the Lord God: (S)“The whole earth will rejoice when I make you desolate. 15 (T)As you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, (U)so I will do to you; you shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom—all of it! Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’
