Prophecy Against Mount Seir
1 The word of the LORD came to me:
2
1"Son of man,
2set your face
3against
4Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3
and say to it, Thus says the Lord GOD:
5Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and
6I will stretch out my hand against you,
7and I will make you a desolation and a waste.
4
8I will lay your cities waste, and you shall become a desolation, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
5
Because
9you cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword
10at the time of their calamity,
11at the time of their final punishment,
6
therefore,
12as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you;
13because you did not hate bloodshed, therefore blood shall pursue you.
7
14I will make Mount Seir a waste
15and a desolation, and I will cut off from it
16all who come and go.
8
And I will fill
17its mountains with the slain. On your hills and in your valleys and in all
18your ravines
19those slain with the sword shall fall.
9
20I will make you a perpetual desolation, and
21your cities shall not be inhabited. Then
22you will know that I am the LORD.
