1Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2Son of man, Set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, O mount Seir, I come against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.
4I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
5Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast put the children of Israel to flight by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, when their iniquity had an end,
6Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: except thou hate blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7Thus will I make mount Seir desolate and waste, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thine hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers shall they fall, that are slain with the sword.
9I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
10Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess them (seeing the Lord was there)
11Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thy wrath, and according to thine indignation, which thou hast used in thine hatred against them: and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12And thou shalt know, that I the Lord have heard all the blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They lie waste, they are given us to be devoured.
13Thus with your mouths ye have boasted against me, and I have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14Thus saith the Lord God, So shall all the world rejoice, when I shall make thee desolate.
15As thou didst rejoice at 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 wholly, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
