Hatred: Enemies of the Jews Ezekiel 35:5, 6

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, / therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you.
