A Message for Edom
Again a message came to me from the LORD:
Again a message came to me from the LORD:
A Prophecy Against Edom
The word of the Lord came to me:
The word of the Lord came to me:
“Son of man, turn and face Mount Seir, and prophesy against its people.
“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir; prophesy against it
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.
and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you and make you a desolate waste.
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.
I will turn your towns into ruins and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
“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.
“ ‘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,
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!
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.
I will make Mount Seir utterly desolate, killing off all who try to escape and any who return.
I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and cut off from it all who come and go.
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 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.
I will make you desolate forever. Your cities will never be rebuilt. 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.
“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!’
“ ‘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,
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.
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!’
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.”
In saying that, you boasted proudly against me, and I have heard it all!
You boasted against me and spoke against me without restraint, and I heard it.
“This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The whole world will rejoice when I make you desolate.
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
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.
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.’ ”
