5 |Because of your undying hatred, you kept on making the Israelis experience abuse during the time of their calamity, even when they were in their final stages of punishment, Because 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, “’Because you harbored an ancient hostility and delivered the Israelites over to the sword at the time of their calamity, the time their punishment reached its climax,
6 therefore as I'm alive and living,| declares the Lord GOD, |I'm turning you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will certainly overtake you, since you never have hated shedding blood. That's why bloodshed will certainly pursue you. therefore, 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. therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.
7 I'm turning Mount Seir over to ruin and desolation. I'm going to eliminate everyone who comes and goes, I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation, and I will cut off from it all who come and go. I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and cut off from it all who come and go.
8 and I'll fill that mountain with the dead. Those who die by violence will cover your hills, and fill your valleys and all your ravines! And 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. I will fill your mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
9 I will turn you into an everlasting wasteland, and your cities will never be inhabited. Then you'll learn that I am the LORD! I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD. I will make you desolate forever; your towns will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
10 |Because you have claimed, 'These two nations and these two lands are going to belong to me, and we will take possession of them, even though the LORD is there,' “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— “’Because you have said, “These two nations and countries will be ours and we will take possession of them,” even though I the LORD was there,
11 therefore as I'm alive and living| declares the Lord GOD, |I'm going to deal with you as your anger deserves. When I judge you, I'll treat you like you did the Israelis —that is, with the same kind of envy that motivated your constant hatred of them. therefore, 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. therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I will treat you in accordance with the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
12 That's how you'll know that I, the LORD, have heard every loathsome, reviling thing that you've had to say against the mountains of Israel, such as, 'They're desolate, and we'll eat them for dinner!' And 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.’ Then you will know that I the LORD have heard all the contemptible things you have said against the mountains of Israel. You said, “They have been laid waste and have been given over to us to devour.”
13 Not only that, you've arrogantly reviled me many times over, and I've heard every word! And you magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it. You boasted against me and spoke against me without restraint, and I heard it.
14 |So this is what the Lord GOD says: 'Just as the earth rejoices, I'm going to turn you into a desolate wasteland. Thus says the Lord GOD: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
15 Just as you rejoiced when Israel's inheritance became desolate, I'm going to do the same thing to you. Mount Seir, you and Edom—all of you—will become a desolate wasteland.' Then they will learn that I am the LORD.| As 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. Because you rejoiced when the inheritance of Israel became desolate, that is how I will treat you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, you and all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
