Ezekiel 35:7-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 35
7I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation and I will eliminate from it one who passes through and returns. 8I will fill its mountains with its slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines. 9I will make you a permanent desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
10Since you have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the Lord was there,
11therefore as I live,' declares the Lord God, 'I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your envy which you displayed because of your hatred for them; so I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
King James Version
Chapter 35
7Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. 8And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 9I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.

Chapter 35
7I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go. 8I will fill its mountains with the slain; those slain by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines. 9I will make you a perpetual desolation; your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
10" 'Because you said, "These two nations and two lands will be mine, and we will possess them"--though the Lord was there--
11therefore, as I live--this is the declaration of the Lord God--I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them. I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
New Living Translation
Chapter 35
7I will make Mount Seir utterly desolate, killing off all who try to escape and any who return. 8I will fill your mountains with the dead. Your hills, your valleys, and your ravines will be filled with people slaughtered by the sword. 9I will make you desolate forever. Your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
10For you said, ‘The lands of Israel and Judah will be ours. We will take possession of them. What do we care that the Lord is there!’
11Therefore, as surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I will pay back your angry deeds with my own. I will punish you for all your acts of anger, envy, and hatred. And I will make myself known to Israel by what I do to you.
