1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man Set thy face against Mount Seir,—and prophesy against it;

3 and thou shalt say to it Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against thee Mount Seir,—Therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, And I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment:

4 Thy cities, will I lay waste, And thou—a desolation, shalt become, So shalt thou know that I, am Yahweh.

5 Because thou hast had an age-abiding enmity, And hast delivered up the sons of Israel unto the hands of the sword,- In the time of their misfortune, In the time of the final punishment for iniquity,

6 Therefore, as I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely regarding blood, will I deal with thee, Blood therefore, shall pursue thee,-Since blood thou hast not hated, Therefore blood, shall pursue thee,

7 So then I will deliver up Mount Seir to desolation after desolation,- And will cut off therefrom him that passeth by and him that returneth,

8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain,— As for thy hills and thy hollows and all thy channels, they who are thrust through by the sword shall fall therein:

9 Desolations age-abiding, will I make thee, And thy cities, shall not be inhabited,- So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

10 Because thou hast said, the two nations, and the two lands, mine, shall become, that we may possess it Whereas Yahweh, had been there,

11 Therefore as I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, I will even deal according to thine anger, and according to thine envy, wherewith thou hast dealt, out of thy hatred with them,- So will I make myself known among them as soon as I shall judge thee

12 And thou shalt know that, I Yahweh, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel saying, They have become desolate,— To us, have they been given for food;

13 And so ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, And have caused to abound against me your words, —I, have heard!

14 Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh,— When all the earth is rejoicing, a desolation, will I make thee:

15 As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it had become a desolation, so, will, I, do unto thee,— A desolation, shalt thou become, O Mount Seir And all Edom all of it, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.
