2
Son of man, set thy face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against him,
3
and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, O Mount Seir, I
am against thee, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee waste and solitary.
4
I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I
am the LORD.
5
Because thou hast had perpetual enmities and hast scattered the sons of Israel to the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the extremely evil time:
6
therefore,
as I live, said the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and if thou dost not hate blood, blood shall pursue thee.
7
And I will make Mount Seir waste and solitary and cut off from him, he that passes out and him that returns.
8
And I will fill his mountains with his dead; and in thy hills and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, they shall fall that are slain with the sword.
9
I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall never be restored; and ye shall know that I
am the LORD.
10
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess them, whereas the LORD was there.
11
Therefore,
as I live, said the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy enmity against them; and I shall be known in them when I judge thee.
12
And thou shalt know that I, the LORD, have heard all thy injuries which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate; they are given us to devour.
