1Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:

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

3and say to it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee an utter desolation;

4I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.

5Because thou bearest a perpetual hatred, and deliverest up the sons of Israel to the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time when iniquity bringeth destruction:

6therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely, to blood will I bring thee, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou hast not hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.

7Thus will I make Mount Seir an utter desolation, and cut off from it him that passeth out, and him that returneth.

8And I will fill his valleys with the slain. Upon thy hills and in thy plains and in thy valleys shall fall they that are slain with the sword.

9I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

10Because thou hast said, “These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we shall possess them,” whereas Jehovah was there;

11therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger and according to thine envy which in thy hatred against them thou hast practised, and I will make myself known to them when I judge thee.

12And thou shalt know that I am Jehovah, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying: “They are laid desolate; to us are they given to be devoured.”

13Thus with your mouth have ye magnified yourselves against me, and multiplied your words against me; I have heard them.

14Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole land rejoiceth, I will prepare desolation for thee.

15As thou didst rejoice over my inheritance, the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to thee! Mount Seir shall be desolate, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
