1 A nd the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

¶ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 S on of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

Son of man, set thy face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against him,

3 a nd 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.

and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee waste and solitary.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be a desolation: and thou shalt know that I Jehovah.

I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

5 B ecause 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;

Because thou hast had perpetual enmities and hast scattered the sons of Israel to the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the extremely evil time:

6 t herefore, 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.

therefore, as I live, said the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and if thou dost not hate blood, blood shall pursue thee.

7 A nd I will make mount Seir a desolation and an astonishment, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth;

And I will make Mount Seir waste and solitary and cut off from him, he that passes out and him that returns.

8 a nd 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.

And I will fill his mountains with his dead; and in thy hills and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, they shall 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 Jehovah.

I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall never be restored; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

10 B ecause thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah was there:

¶ Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess them, whereas the LORD was there.

11 t herefore, 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.

Therefore, as I live, said the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy enmity against them; and I shall be known in them when I judge thee.

12 A nd 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.

And thou shalt know that I, the LORD, have heard all thy injuries which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate; they are given us to devour.

13 A nd ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard.

Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me and have multiplied your words against me; I have heard them.

14 T hus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee a desolation.

Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Thus shall the whole earth rejoice when I shall make thee desolate.

15 A s 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 Jehovah.

As thou didst rejoice upon 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 Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
