Ezekiel 35:15

As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, [even] all of it: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

As thou didst rejoice {H8057} at the inheritance {H5159} of the house {H1004} of Israel {H3478}, because it was desolate {H8074}, so will I do {H6213} unto thee: thou shalt be desolate {H8077}, O mount {H2022} Seir {H8165}, and all Idumea {H123}, even all of it: and they shall know {H3045} that I am the LORD {H3068}.

Since you rejoiced over possessing the house of Isra'el, because it was desolate, that is what I will do to you - you will be desolate, Mount Se'ir and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am ADONAI.'

As you rejoiced when the inheritance of the house of Israel became desolate, so will I do to you. You will become a desolation, O Mount Seir, and so will all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
