1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2. "Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and you shall prophesy about it, and you shall say to it:
3. Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, mount Seir, and I will extend my hand over you, and I will make you desolate and deserted.
4. I will tear down your cities, and you will be deserted. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
5. For you have been a continual adversary, and you have enclosed the sons of Israel, by the hands of the sword, in the time of their affliction, in the time of extreme iniquity.
6. Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will hand you over to blood, and blood will pursue you. Even though you have hated blood, blood will pursue you.
7. And I will make mount Seir desolate and deserted. And I will take away from it the one who departs and the one who returns.
8. And I will fill up its mountains with its slain. In your hills, and in your valleys, as well as in your torrents, the slain will fall by the sword.
