Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me , saying ,
“ Son of man , set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it ,
and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says : Behold , I am against you , O Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.
I will turn your cities into ruins , and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
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. Since you did not hate bloodshed , it will pursue you.
I will make - Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.
I will fill - its mountains with the slain ; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills , in your valleys , and in all your ravines.
I will make you a perpetual desolation , and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Because you have said , - ‘ These two nations - and countries will be and we will possess them , ’ even though the LORD was there ,
therefore as surely as I live , declares the Lord GOD , I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy - you showed in your hatred and I will make Myself known when I judge you.
Then you will know that I , the LORD , have heard - every contemptuous word - you uttered against the mountains of Israel when you said , ‘ They are desolate ; they are given to devour ! ’
You boasted against Me with your mouth and multiplied your words against Me. I heard it Myself !
This is what the Lord GOD says : While the whole earth rejoices , I will make desolate.
As you rejoiced when the inheritance of the house of Israel - - became desolate , so will I do You will become a desolation , O Mount Seir , and so will all of Edom -. Then they will know that I am the LORD. (’’)
