| 1The word of the LORD came to me: | 1The word of the LORD came to me: |
| 2“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it, | 2"Son of man, turn toward 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. | 3Say to it, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: "'Look, I am against you, Mount Seir; I will stretch out my hand against you and turn you into a desolate ruin. |
| 4I will lay your cities waste, and you shall become a desolation, and you shall know that I am the LORD. | 4I will lay waste your cities; and you will become desolate. Then you will 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, | 5"'You have shown unrelenting hostility and poured the people of Israel onto the blades of a sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment. |
| 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 surely as I live, declares the sovereign LORD, I will subject you to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you. |
| 7I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation, and I will cut off from it all who come and go. | 7I will turn Mount Seir into a desolate ruin; I will cut off from it the one who passes through or returns. |
| 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. | 8I will fill its mountains with its dead; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines, those killed by the sword will fall. |
| 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 turn you into a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will 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— | 10"'You said, "These two nations, these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,"--although 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 surely as I live, declares the sovereign LORD, I will deal with you according to your anger, and according to your envy, by which you acted spitefully against them. I will reveal myself to them when I judge you. |
| 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.’ | 12Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard all the insults you spoke against the mountains of Israel, saying, "They are desolate, they have been given to us for food." |
| 13And you magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it. | 13You exalted yourselves against me with your speech and hurled many insults against me--I have heard them all! |
| 14Thus says the Lord GOD: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. | 14This is what the sovereign LORD says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will turn you into a desolation. |
| 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 you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so will I deal with you--you will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all of Edom--all of it! Then they will know that I am the LORD.'" |
