² Son of manSon of man, set thy faceface against mountmount SeirSeir, and prophesy against it,

³ And saysay unto it, Thus saithsaith the LordLord GOD; Behold, O mountmount SeirSeir, I am against thee, and I will stretch outstretch out mine handhand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

⁴ I will lay thy citiescities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt knowknow that I am the LORDthe LORD.

⁵ Because thou hast had a perpetualperpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the childrenchildren of IsraelIsrael by the force of the swordsword in the timetime of their calamity, in the timetime that their iniquityiniquity had an end:

⁶ Therefore, as I live, saithsaith the LordLord GOD, I will prepare thee unto bloodblood, and bloodblood shall pursuepursue thee: sith thou hast not hatedhated bloodblood, even bloodblood shall pursuepursue thee.

⁷ Thus will I make mountmount SeirSeir most desolate, and cut offcut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

⁸ And I will fillfill his mountainsmountains with his slainslain men: in thy hillshills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fallfall that are slainslain with the swordsword.

¹³ Thus with your mouthmouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your wordswords against me: I have heardheard them.

¹⁴ Thus saithsaith the LordLord GOD; When the whole earthearth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

¹⁵ As thou didst rejoice at the inheritanceinheritance of the househouse of IsraelIsrael, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mountmount SeirSeir, and all IdumeaIdumea, even all of it: and they shall knowknow that I am the LORDthe LORD.
