1
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man , set thy face against mount Seir , and prophesy against it,
3
and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Behold, I am against thee, mount Seir , and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.
4
I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be a desolation: and thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah .
5
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword , in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
6
therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah , I will certainly appoint thee unto blood , and blood shall pursue thee; since thou hast not hated blood , blood shall pursue thee.
7
And I will make mount Seir a desolation and an astonishment, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth;
8
and I will fill his mountains with his slain . In thy hills , and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword .
9
I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah .
10
Because thou hast said , These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah was there:
11
therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah , I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy, as thou hast done out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.
12
And thou shalt know that I Jehovah have heard all thy reproaches, which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel , saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour.
13
And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth , and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].
14
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee a desolation.
15
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel , because it was desolated, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be a desolation, O mount Seir , and all Edom , the whole of it: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah .
