Ezekiel · Chapter 35

[ edit] And þe word of þe Lord is maad to me, ſayinge, Sone of man, putte þou þi face aȝeins þe mount of Seir; and þou ſhalt prophecie to it, and ſhalt ſaye to it, Þeſe þingis ſaiþ þe Lord God, Loo! I to þee, mount of Seir; I ſhal ſtrecche out myn hond vpon þee, and I ſchal ȝiue þee deſolat and deſert. I ſchal diſtrye þi citees, and þou ſchalt be deſert; and þou ſchalt wite, for I þe Lord.

For þat þat þou was an enmy euer laſtynge, and cloſidiſt to gydre þe ſones of Yrael in to hondis of ſwerd, in þe tyme of her affliccioun, in þe tyme of þe laſt wickidneſſe; þerfore Y lyue, ſaiþ þe Lord God, for I ſhal bitake þee to blood, and blood ſhal purſue þee; and whann þou hatiſt bloode, blood ſhal purſue þee. And I ſhal ȝeue þe hil of Seir deſolat and deſert, and I ſhal take awey fro it a man goynge and turnynge aȝein; and I ſhal fulfille þe hillis of it wiþ careyns of ſlayn men. In þi litil hillis, and in þi valeis, and in rennynge brokis of reyn, men ſlayn in ſwerd ſhuln falle doun.

I ſhal bytake þee into wilderneſſis euerlaſtynge, and þi citees ſhuln not be enabitid; and ȝe ſhuln wite, for I þe Lord God. For þat þat þou ſaidiſt, Two folkis and two londis ſhuln be myn, and bi eritage I ſhal weelde hem, whan þe Lord was þere; þerfore I lyue, ſaiþ þe Lord God, for I ſhal do after þi wraþ, and after þin enuye, whiche þou didiſt, hauynge hem in hate, and I ſhal be maad knowen by hem, when I ſhal deeme þee; and þou ſhalt wite, for I þe Lord. Y herde alle þi ſhendſhipis, whiche þou haſt ſpoken of þe mounteyns of Yrael, ſayinge, Þei deſert ben ȝouen to vs, for to deuoure. And ȝe han riſe vpon me wiþ ȝour mouþ, and han dymynued, or ſpoken yuel, aȝeins me; I herd ȝour wordis.

Þeſe þingis ſaiþ þe Lord God, All erþe gladynge, I ſhal dryue þee in to wildreneſſe. As þou ioyediſt vpon þe eritage of þe hous of Yrael, for þat it was ſcatered, ſo I ſhal do to þee; þe hill of Seir ſhal be ſcatered, and al Ydume; and þei ſhuln wite, for I þe Lord.
