Ezekiel 35:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Your cities I will turn into ruins, and you shall be a desolation; then you shall know that I am the Lord.(A)
5 Because you nursed a long-standing hatred and handed the Israelites over to the sword at the time of their collapse, at the time of their final punishment,[a](B) 6 therefore, as I live—oracle of the Lord God—you are guilty of blood, and blood, I swear, shall pursue you.
