| 1 Moreover 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, O mount
Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a
desolation and an astonishment. 4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou
shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah. 5 Because thou
hast had a perpetual enmity, 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 prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast
not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee. 7 Thus will I make
mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him
that passeth through and him that returneth. 8 And I will fill its
mountains with its slain: in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy
watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. 9 I will make
thee a perpetual desolation, 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
do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast
showed 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 revilings which thou hast spoken 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 it. 14 Thus saith the Lord
Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. 15 As
thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it
was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir,
and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
