Ezekiel 35:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ “ ‘ “People of Edom, you have been Israel’s enemies for a long time. You let many Israelites be killed by swords when they were in great trouble. At that time I used Nebuchadnezzar to punish them and destroy them completely. ⁶ Now I will hand you over to murderers. They will hunt you down. You murdered others. So murderers will chase you. And that is just as sure as I am alive,” announces the Lord and King. ⁷ “I will turn Mount Seir into a dry and empty desert. No one will be able to go anywhere or do anything there.
