1 The word of the LORD came to me:
2 "Son of man, turn your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it.
3 Tell it, Thus says the Lord GOD: I am against you, Mount Seir; I will stretch out my hand against you and make you a desolate ruin.
4 I will turn your cities into rubble, and you will become a desolation; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
5 Because you kept up an age-old hostility and handed the children of Israel over to the sword in the time of their disaster, at the time of the final punishment,
6 therefore, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will make you blood, and blood will chase you; since you did not hate blood, blood will chase you.
7 I will make Mount Seir a desolate ruin and cut off from it everyone who comes and goes.
8 I will fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills, in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will fall.
9 I will make you a desolation forever, and your cities will not be restored; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
10 "Because you said, 'These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will take possession of them,' even though the LORD was there,
11 therefore, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will deal with you in keeping with the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them, and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
12 And you shall know that I am the LORD. I have heard all the insults you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, 'They lie desolate; they have been handed to us to devour.'
13 You boasted against me with your mouth and heaped up your words against me; I heard it all.
14 Thus says the Lord GOD: While all the earth rejoices, I will make you a desolation.
15 Just as you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it lay desolate, so I will deal with you: you will become a desolation, Mount Seir, and all Edom, every part of it. Then they shall know that I am the LORD."
