1
Moreover the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came unto me, saying[H559],
2Son[H1121] of man[H120], set[H7760] thy face[H6440] against mount[H2022]Seir[H8165], and prophesy[H5012] against it,
3
And say[H559] unto it, Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; Behold, O mount[H2022]Seir[H8165], I am against thee, and I will stretch out[H5186] mine hand[H3027] against thee, and I will make[H5414] thee most[H4923]desolate[H8077].
4
I will lay[H7760] thy cities[H5892]waste[H2723], and thou shalt be desolate[H8077], and thou shalt know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
5
Because thou hast had a perpetual[H5769]hatred[H342], and hast shed[H5064] the blood of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] by the force[H3027] of the sword[H2719] in the time[H6256] of their calamity[H343], in the time[H6256] that their iniquity[H5771] had an end[H7093]:
6
Therefore, as I live[H2416], saith[H5002] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069], I will prepare[H6213] thee unto blood[H1818], and blood[H1818] shall pursue[H7291] thee: sith[H518] thou hast not hated[H8130]blood[H1818], even blood[H1818] shall pursue[H7291] thee.
7
Thus will I make[H5414]mount[H2022]Seir[H8165]most[H8077]desolate[H8077], and cut off[H3772] from it him that passeth out[H5674] and him that returneth[H7725].
8
And I will fill[H4390] his mountains[H2022] with his slain[H2491] men: in thy hills[H1389], and in thy valleys[H1516], and in all thy rivers[H650], shall they fall[H5307] that are slain[H2491] with the sword[H2719].
9
I will make[H5414] thee perpetual[H5769]desolations[H8077], and thy cities[H5892] shall not return[H7725]: and ye shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
10
Because thou hast said[H559], These two[H8147]nations[H1471] and these two[H8147]countries[H776] shall be mine, and we will possess[H3423] it; whereas the LORD[H3068] was there:
11
Therefore, as I live[H2416], saith[H5002] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069], I will even do[H6213] according to thine anger[H639], and according to thine envy[H7068] which thou hast used[H6213] out of thy hatred[H8135] against them; and I will make myself known[H3045] among them, when I have judged[H8199] thee.
12
And thou shalt know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068], and that I have heard[H8085] all thy blasphemies[H5007] which thou hast spoken[H559] against the mountains[H2022] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], They are laid desolate[H8074], they are given[H5414] us to consume[H402].
13
Thus with your mouth[H6310] ye have boasted[H1431] against me, and have multiplied[H6280] your words[H1697] against me: I have heard[H8085] them.
14
Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069]; When the whole earth[H776]rejoiceth[H8055], I will make[H6213] thee desolate[H8077].
15
As thou didst rejoice[H8057] at the inheritance[H5159] of the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], because it was desolate[H8074], so will I do[H6213] unto thee: thou shalt be desolate[H8077], O mount[H2022]Seir[H8165], and all Idumea[H123], even all of it: and they shall know[H3045] that I am the LORD[H3068].
