351 God's Message came to me: 2 "Son of man, confront Mount Seir. Prophesy against it! 3 Tell them, 'God, the Master, says: "'I'm coming down hard on you, Mount Seir. I'm stepping in and turning you to a pile of rubble. 4 I'll reduce your towns to piles of rocks. There'll be nothing left of you. Then you'll realize that I am God. 5 "'I'm doing this because you've kept this age-old grudge going against Israel: You viciously attacked them when they were already down, looking their final punishment in the face. 6 Therefore, as sure as I am the living God, I'm lining you up for a real bloodbath. Since you loved blood so much, you'll be chased by rivers of blood. 7 I'll reduce Mount Seir to a heap of rubble. No one will either come or go from that place! 8 I'll blanket your mountains with corpses. Massacred bodies will cover your hills and fill up your valleys and ditches. 9 I'll reduce you to ruins and all your towns will be ghost towns - population zero. Then you'll realize that I am God.

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.
