Ezekiel 35:6 Context
4I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. 5Because thou hast had a perpetuall hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamitie, in the time that their iniquitie had an end; 6Therefore, as I liue, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee vnto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, euen blood shall pursue thee. 7Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out, & him that returneth. 8And I will fill his mountaines with his slaine men: in thy hilles, and in thy valleis, and in all thy riuers shall they fall that are slaine with the sword.
