1 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 And say to it, Thus says the Lord GOD; Oh mount Seir, I am against you, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you most desolate.
4 I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.
5 Because you have had a long-standing hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will prepare you to blood, and blood shall pursue you; Since you have not hated blood, even blood shall pursue you.
7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him who passes out and him who returns.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in your hills, and in your valleys, and in all your rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9 I will make you desolations through the Kingdom Age, and your cities shall not return: and you shall know that I am Jehovah.
10 Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; Jehovah was there:
11 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will even do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have used out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged you.
12 And you shall know that I am Jehovah, and that I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13 Thus with your mouth you have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14 Thus says the Lord GOD; When the whole Earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
15 As you did rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you; you shall be desolate, Oh mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
