Ezekiel 35:9
“I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.”
Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there:
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
