Prophecy against Mount Seir
35 Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against (A)Mount Seir, and prophesy against it 3 and say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord [a]God,
“Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir,
And I will (B)stretch out My hand against you
And make you a (C)desolation and a waste.
4 “I will (D)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 (E)enmity and have [b]delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the [c](F)punishment of the end, 6 therefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will [d]give you over to (G)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 (H)fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will [e]fall. 9 I will make you an everlasting (I)desolation and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
10 “Because you have (J)said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess [f]them,’ although the (K)Lord was there, 11 therefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will deal with you (L)according to your anger and according to your envy which you showed because of your hatred against them; so I will (M)make Myself known among them when I judge you. 12 Then you will know [g]that I, the Lord, have heard all your revilings which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, ‘They are laid desolate; they are (N)given to us for food.’ 13 And you have [h](O)spoken arrogantly against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; (P)I have heard it.” 14 Thus says the Lord God, “As all the (Q)earth rejoices, I will make you a desolation. 15 As you (R)rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, (S)so I will do to you. You will be a (T)desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”’
