1. Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying,
2. "Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it
3. and say to it, 'Thus says the Lord God, "Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, And I will stretch out My hand against you And make you a desolation and a waste.
4. "I will lay waste your cities And you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5. Because you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the punishment of the end,
6. therefore as I live," declares the Lord God, "I will give you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.
7. I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation and I will cut off from it the one who passes through and returns.
8. I will fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will fall.
9. I will make you an everlasting desolation and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
