1 Prophecy Against Mount Seir Moreover, the word of Yahweh 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 Lord Yahweh,“Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir,And I will stretch out My hand against youAnd make you a desolation and a desecration.
4 “I will lay waste your cities,And you will become a desolation.Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
5 Because you have had everlasting enmity and have 35:5Lit poured delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of the 35:5Or iniquity punishment of the end,
6 therefore as I live,” declares Lord Yahweh, “I will 35:6Lit do prepare you for bloodshed, 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 fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will 35:8Lit fall in them fall.
9 I will make you an everlasting desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
10 “Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess 35:10Lit it them,’ although Yahweh was there,
11 therefore as I live,” declares Lord Yahweh, “I will dealwith youaccording to your anger and according to your jealousy which you dealtwith thembecause of your hatred against them; so I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
12 Then you will know 35:12Or that I am Yahweh: I have heard that I, Yahweh, have heard all your 35:12Or blasphemies, cf. Neh 9:18, 26 contempt which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, ‘They are laid desolate; they are given to us for food.’
13 And you have magnifiedyourselveswith your mouth against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; I have heardit.”
14 Thus says Lord Yahweh, “As all the earth delights, I will make you a desolation.
15 As you delighted over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be a desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.” ’
