And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
and say to it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and will make thee a waste, and thou shalt be made desolate.
And I will cause desolation in thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Because thou hast been a perpetual enemy, and hast laid wait craftily for the house of Israel, with the hand of enemies with a sword, in the time of injustice, at the last:
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, thou hast sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.
And I will make mount Seir a waste, and desolate, and I will destroy from off it men and cattle:
and I will fill thy hills and thy valleys with slain men, and in all thy plains there shall fall in thee men slain with the sword.
I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited any more: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Because thou saidst, The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I shall inherit them; whereas the Lord is there:
therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord, I will even deal with thee according to thine enmity, and I will be made known to thee when I shall judge thee:
and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. I have heard the voice of thy blasphemies, whereas thou hast said, The desert mountains of Israel are given to us for food;
and thou hast spoken swelling words against me with thy mouth: I have heard [them].
Thus saith the Lord; When all the earth is rejoicing, I will make thee desert.
Thou shalt be desert, O mount Seir, and all Idumea; and it shall be utterly consumed: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord their God.
