Prophecy Against Mount Seir
Moreover, the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against aMount Seir and prophesy against it 3 and say to it, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,
“Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir,
And I will astretch out My hand against you
And make you a bdesolation and a desecration.
4 I will alay waste your cities,
And you will become a desolation.
Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
5 Because you have had everlasting aenmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of the bpunishment of the end, 6 therefore as I live,” declares Lord Yahweh, “I will prepare you for abloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; you surely have not hated bloodshed, so 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 afill 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 adesolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
10 “Because you have asaid, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,’ although bYahweh was there, 11 therefore as I live,” declares Lord Yahweh, “I will deal with you aaccording to your anger and according to your jealousy which you dealt with them because of your hatred against them; so I will bmake Myself known among them when I judge you. 12 Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all your contempt which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, ‘They are laid desolate; they are agiven to us for food.’ 13 And you have amagnified yourselves with your mouth against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; bI have heard it.” 14 Thus says Lord Yahweh, “As all the aearth delights, I will make you a desolation. 15 As you adelighted over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, bso I will do to you. You will be a cdesolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”’
