| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Again a message came to me from the LORD: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“Son of man, turn and face Mount Seir, and prophesy against its people. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: “I am your enemy, O Mount Seir, and I will raise my fist against you to destroy you completely. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I will demolish your cities and make you desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5“Your eternal hatred for the people of Israel led you to butcher them when they were helpless, when I had already punished them for all their sins. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6As surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, since you show no distaste for blood, I will give you a bloodbath of your own. Your turn has come! |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7I will make Mount Seir utterly desolate, killing off all who try to escape and any who return. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8I will fill your mountains with the dead. Your hills, your valleys, and your ravines will be filled with people slaughtered by the sword. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9I will make you desolate forever. Your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am the LORD. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10“For you said, ‘The lands of Israel and Judah will be ours. We will take possession of them. What do we care that the LORD is there!’ |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Therefore, as surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, I will pay back your angry deeds with my own. I will punish you for all your acts of anger, envy, and hatred. And I will make myself known to Israel by what I do to you. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard every contemptuous word you spoke against the mountains of Israel. For you said, ‘They are desolate; they have been given to us as food to eat!’ |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13In saying that, you boasted proudly against me, and I have heard it all! |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14“This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The whole world will rejoice when I make you desolate. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15You rejoiced at the desolation of Israel’s territory. Now I will rejoice at yours! You will be wiped out, you people of Mount Seir and all who live in Edom! Then you will know that I am the LORD. |
