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. Ezekiel 35:9-11 KJV
