Ezekiel 35:4 in context

The verses around it, from Ezekiel 35.

1 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it,

3 and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.

4 I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

5 Because you harbored an ancient hatred and delivered the Israelites over to the sword in the time of their disaster at the final stage of their punishment,

6 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.

7 I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.

8 I will fill its mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.
