| 1The word of the LORD came to me: | 1Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, |
| 2“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it, | 2Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, |
| 3and say to it, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and a waste. | 3And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. |
| 4I will lay your cities waste, and you shall become a desolation, and you shall know that I am the LORD. | 4I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. |
| 5Because you cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment, | 5Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end: |
| 6therefore, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; because you did not hate bloodshed, therefore blood shall pursue you. | 6Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee. |
| 7I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation, and I will cut off from it all who come and go. | 7Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. |
| 8And I will fill its mountains with the slain. On your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain with the sword shall fall. | 8And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword. |
| 9I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD. | 9I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. |
| 10“Because you said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will take possession of them’—although the LORD was there— | 10Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there: |
| 11therefore, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will deal with you according to the anger and envy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And I will make myself known among them, when I judge you. | 11Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee. |
| 12And you shall know that I am the LORD. “I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are laid desolate; they are given us to devour.’ | 12And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume. |
| 13And you magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it. | 13Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them. |
| 14Thus says the Lord GOD: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. | 14Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. |
| 15As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD. | 15As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD. |
