Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
And say unto it, Thus saith the LordGOD; Behold, O mount Seir, Iamagainst thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that IamtheLORD.
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shedthe blood ofthe children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the timethat theiriniquityhadan end:
Therefore,asI live, saith the LordGOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
And I will fill his mountains with his slainmen:in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that IamtheLORD.
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas theLORDwas there:
Therefore,asI live, saith the LordGOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
And thou shalt know that IamtheLORD,and thatI have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heardthem.
Thus saith the LordGOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
As 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,evenall of it: and they shall know that IamtheLORD.
