| 35:1 | Moreouer, the worde of the Lorde came vnto me, saying. |
| 35:2 | Thou sonne of man, turne thy face towarde the mount Seyr, prophecye vpon it, |
| 35:3 | & saye vnto it. Thus sayeth the Lord God: Beholde (O thou mount Seyr) I wyll vpon the, I wyll reach out myne hande ouer the, yee, waste and desolate wil I make the. |
| 35:4 | Thy cities will I breake downe, and thou shalt lye voyde: that thou mayst knowe, how that I am the Lorde. |
| 35:5 | For so moch as thou bearest an olde enemyte agaynst the chyldren of Israel, and hast drawne the chylderne of Israell vpon the swerde, what tyme as they were troubled and punished for their synne: |
| 35:6 | Therfore, as truly as I lyue, sayeth the Lord God, I will prepare the vnto bloude, yee, bloude shall folow vpon the: seinge thou layest wayte for bloude, therfore shall bloude persecute the. |
| 35:7 | Thus will I make the mount Seir desolate and waste, and bringe to passe, that there shall no man goo thyther, ner come from thence. |
| 35:8 | His mountaynes will I fyll with his slayne men: thy hilles, valleys and ryuers, shall lye full of them, that are slayne with the swearde. |
| 35:9 | I will make the a perpetuall wildernesse, so that thy cityes shall not returne to their former estate that ye maye knowe, how that I am the Lorde. |
| 35:10 | And because thou hast sayde: what, both these nacions and both these landes must be myne, & I will haue them in possession where as the Lorde was there. Therfore, thus sayeth the Lord God: |
| 35:11 | As truly as I lyue, I will handle the accordinge to thy wrath and gelousy, lyke as thou hast dealt cruelly wt them, that I maye be knowen among them, how I haue punished the. |
| 35:12 | Yee, and that thou also mayest be sure, that I the Lorde haue herde al thy despyteful wordes, which thou hast spoken agaynst the mountaynes of Israell, sayinge: Lo, they are made waste, and geuen vs to deuoure. |
| 35:13 | Thus with your mouthes ye haue made youre boast agaynst me, yee, and multiplied your proude wordes agaynst me, which I haue herde altogether. |
| 35:14 | Where vnto, thus sayeth the Lord God: to the ioye of all the worlde will I make the waste. |
| 35:15 | And lyke as thou (O mount Seyr) wast glad, because the heritage of the house of Israel was destroyed: euen so wyll I do vnto the also, that thou and whole Edom shal be destroyed, & knowe, that I am the Lorde. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
