| 1The word of the LORD came to me: " | 1Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me saying, |
| 2Son of man, turn your face toward Mount Seir and prophesy against it. | 2"Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it |
| 3Say to it: This is what the Lord GOD says: Look! I am against you, Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste. | 3and say to it, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, And I will stretch out My hand against you And make you a desolation and a waste. |
| 4I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am Yahweh." | 4"I will lay waste your cities And you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD. |
| 5Because you maintained an ancient hatred and handed over the Israelites to the power of the sword in the time of their disaster, the time of final punishment, | 5"Because you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the punishment of the end, |
| 6therefore, as I live"--this is the declaration of the Lord GOD--"I will destine you for bloodshed, and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you. | 6therefore as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "I will give you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you. |
| 7I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go. | 7"I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation and I will cut off from it the one who passes through and returns. |
| 8I will fill its mountains with the slain; those slain by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines. | 8"I will fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will fall. |
| 9I will make you a perpetual desolation; your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am Yahweh." | 9"I will make you an everlasting desolation and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD. |
| 10Because you said, 'These two nations and two lands will be mine, and we will possess them--though the LORD was there-- | 10"Because you have said, 'These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,' although the LORD was there, |
| 11therefore, as I live"--the declaration of the Lord GOD--"I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them. I will make Myself known among them when I judge you. | 11therefore as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your envy which you showed because of your hatred against them; so I will make Myself known among them when I judge you. |
| 12Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the blasphemies you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, 'They are desolate. They have been given to us to devour!' | 12"Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard all your revilings which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, 'They are laid desolate; they are given to us for food.' |
| 13You boasted against Me with your mouth, and spoke many words against Me. I heard it Myself!" | 13"And you have spoken arrogantly against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; I have heard it." |
| 14This is what the Lord GOD says: While the whole world rejoices, I will make you a desolation. | 14'Thus says the Lord GOD, "As all the earth rejoices, I will make you a desolation. |
| 15Just as you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it became a desolation, so I will deal with you: you will become a desolation, Mount Seir, and so will all Edom in its entirety. Then they will know that I am Yahweh." | 15"As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be a desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD."' |
