King James Bible 1611
| 35:1 | Moreouer the word of the Lord came vnto mee, saying; |
| 35:2 | Sonne of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophecie against it, |
| 35:3 | And say vnto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. |
| 35:4 | I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. |
| 35:5 | Because thou hast had a perpetuall hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamitie, in the time that their iniquitie had an end; |
| 35:6 | Therefore, as I liue, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee vnto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, euen blood shall pursue thee. |
| 35:7 | Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out, & him that returneth. |
| 35:8 | And I will fill his mountaines with his slaine men: in thy hilles, and in thy valleis, and in all thy riuers shall they fall that are slaine with the sword. |
| 35:9 | I will make thee perpetuall desolations, & thy cities shall not returne, and ye shal know that I am the Lord |
| 35:10 | Because thou hast said; These two nations, and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possesse it, whereas the Lord was there: |
| 35:11 | Therefore, as I liue, saith the Lord God, I will euen doe according to thine anger, and according to thine enuie, which thou hast vsed out of thy hatred against them: and I will make my selfe knowen amongst them, when I haue iudged thee. |
| 35:12 | And thou shalt know, that I am the Lord, and that I haue heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountaines of Israel, saying; They are layed desolate, they are giuen vs to consume. |
| 35:13 | Thus with your mouth yee haue boasted against me, & haue multiplied your words against me: I haue heard them. |
| 35:14 | Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth reioyceth, I will make thee desolate. |
| 35:15 | As thou didst reioyce at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I doe vnto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, euen all of it, and they shall know that I am the Lord. |
King James Bible 1611
The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.
The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
