351 Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying , 2 "Son of man , set your face against Mount Seir , and prophesy against it 3 and say to it, 'Thus says the Lord GOD , "Behold , I am against you, Mount Seir , And I will stretch out My hand against you And make you a desolation and a waste . 4 "I will lay waste your cities And you will become a desolation . Then you will know that I am the Lord . 5 "Because you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity , at the time of the punishment of the end , 6 therefore as I live ," declares the Lord GOD , "I will give you over to bloodshed , and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed , therefore bloodshed will pursue you. 7 "I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation and I will cut off from it the one who passes through and returns . 8 "I will fill its mountains with its slain ; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will fall . 9 "I will make you an everlasting desolation and your cities will not be inhabited . Then you will know that I am the Lord .

Commentary on Ezekiel 35:1-9
(Read Ezekiel 35:1-9)
All who have God against them, have the word of God against them. Those that have a constant hatred to God and his people, as the carnal mind has, can only expect to be made desolate for ever.
