Prophecy against Mount Seir
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
A Message for Edom
Again a message came to me from the LORD:
Again a message came to me from the LORD:
Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
“Son of man, turn and face Mount Seir, and prophesy against its people.
and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.
Give 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.
“I am your enemy, O Mount Seir,
and I will raise my fist against you
to destroy you completely.
I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be a desolation: and thou shalt know that I [am] Jehovah.
I will demolish your cities
and make you desolate.
Then you will know that I am the LORD.
and make you desolate.
Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword, in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
“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.
therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will certainly appoint thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou hast not hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.
As 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!
And I will make mount Seir a desolation and an astonishment, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth;
I will make Mount Seir utterly desolate, killing off all who try to escape and any who return.
and I will fill his mountains with his slain. In thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
I will fill your mountains with the dead. Your hills, your valleys, and your ravines will be filled with people slaughtered by the sword.
I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
I will make you desolate forever. Your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas Jehovah was there:
“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!’
therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will even do according to thine anger and according to thine envy, as thou hast done out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee.
And thou shalt know that I Jehovah have heard all thy reproaches, which thou hast 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 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!’
And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].
In saying that, you boasted proudly against me, and I have heard it all!
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee a desolation.
“This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The whole world will rejoice when I make you desolate.
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolated, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be a desolation, O mount Seir, and all Edom, the whole of it: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
You 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.
