1And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3and you have said to it, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Mount Seir, "" And have stretched out My hand against you, "" And made you a desolation and an astonishment. 4I make your cities a ruin, and you are a desolation, "" And you have known that I [am] YHWH. 5Because of your having continuous enmity, "" And you saw the sons of Israel, "" By the hands of the sword, "" In the time of their calamity, "" In the time of the iniquity of the end: 6Therefore, [as] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, "" Surely I appoint you for blood, "" And blood pursues you, "" If you have not hated blood, "" Blood also pursues you. 7And I have given Mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, "" And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning, 8And filled his mountains with his wounded, "" Your hills, and your valleys, and all your streams, "" The pierced of the sword fall into them. 9I make you continuous desolations, "" And your cities do not return, "" And you have known that I [am] YHWH. 10Because of your saying: The two nations and the two lands are mine, and we have possessed it, "" And YHWH has been there; 11Therefore, [as] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, "" And I have done according to your anger, "" And according to your envy, "" With which you have worked, "" Because of your hatred against them, "" And I have been known among them when I judge you. 12And you have known that I [am] YHWH, "" I have heard all your despisings that you have spoken "" Against mountains of Israel, saying, "" A desolation—they were given to us for food. 13And you magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, "" And have made your words abundant against Me; I have heard. 14Thus said Lord YHWH: According to the rejoicing of the whole land, "" I make a desolation of you. 15According to your joy at the inheritance of the house of Israel because of desolation, "" So I do to you—you are a desolation, "" O Mount Seir, and all Edom—all of it, "" And they have known that I [am] YHWH!” |
