1 M oreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying,

Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

2 “ Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it

Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

3 a nd say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, And I will stretch out My hand against you And make you a desolation and a waste.

and tell it, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.

4 “ I will lay waste your cities And you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

5 B ecause you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the punishment of the end,

Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have 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 t herefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will give you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.

therefore, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

7 I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation and I will cut off from it the one who passes through and returns.

Thus will I make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.

8 I will fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will fall.

I will fill its mountains with its slain: in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses shall they fall who are slain with the sword.

9 I will make you an everlasting desolation and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

10 “ Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the Lord was there,

Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Yahweh was there:

11 t herefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your envy which you showed because of your hatred against them; so I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.

therefore, as I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge you.

12 T hen you will know that I, the Lord, have heard all your revilings which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, ‘They are laid desolate; they are given to us for food.’

You shall know that I, Yahweh, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they have been given us to devour.

13 A nd you have spoken arrogantly against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; I have heard it.”

You have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it.

14 T hus says the Lord God, “As all the earth rejoices, I will make you a desolation.

Thus says the Lord Yahweh: When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

15 A s you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be a desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”’

As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
