1. The Lord spoke his word to me. He said,
2. “Son of man, turn to Mount Seir, and prophesy against it.
3. Tell it, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says:I’m against you, Mount Seir.I will use my power against you,and you will become a wasteland.
4. I will turn your cities into ruins,and you will become a wasteland.Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5. “‘You have always been an enemy of Israel.You deserted the people of Israel in battlewhen they were in trouble during their final punishment.
6. That is why, as I live, declares the Almighty Lord,I will let you be murdered.Murderers will pursue you.Since you don’t hate murdering people, murder will pursue you.
7. I will turn Mount Seir into a barren wasteland,and I will destroy everyone who comes or goes from there.
8. I will fill your mountains with those who have been killed.Those killed in battle will fall on your hillsand in your valleys and ravines.
