| New King James Version | NET Bible |
| 1Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, | 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, O Mount Seir, I am against you; I will stretch out My hand against you, And make you most desolate; | 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 shall lay your cities waste, And you shall be desolate. Then 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! |
| 5“Because you have had an ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, when their iniquity came to an end, | 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,” says the Lord GOD, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; since you have not hated blood, 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. |
| 7Thus I will make Mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it the one who leaves and the one who returns. | 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 who are slain by 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 perpetually desolate, and your cities shall be uninhabited; then you shall 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 have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess 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,” says the Lord GOD, “I will do according to your anger and according to the envy which you showed in 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. |
| 12Then you shall know that I am the LORD. I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to consume.’ | 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." |
| 13Thus with your mouth you have boasted against Me and multiplied your words against Me; I have heard them.” | 13You exalted yourselves against me with your speech and hurled many insults against me--I have heard them all! |
| 14‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “The whole earth will rejoice when I 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 because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, so I will do to you; you shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom—all of it! Then they shall 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.'" |
