| 2"Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it | 2“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it, |
| 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. | 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 I will make you a desolation and a waste. |
| 4"I will lay waste your cities And you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD. | 4I will lay your cities waste, and you shall become a desolation, and you shall know that I am the LORD. |
| 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, | 5Because you cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment, |
| 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. | 6therefore, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; because you did not hate bloodshed, therefore blood shall pursue you. |
| 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. | 7I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation, and I will cut off from it all who come and go. |
| 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. | 8And I will fill its mountains with the slain. On your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain with the sword shall fall. |
| 9"I will make you an everlasting desolation and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD. | 9I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD. |
| 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, | 10“Because you said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will take possession of them’—although the LORD was there— |
| 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. | 11therefore, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will deal with you according to the anger and envy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And I will make myself known among them, when I judge you. |
| 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.' | 12And you shall know that I am the LORD. “I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are laid desolate; they are given us to devour.’ |
| 13"And you have spoken arrogantly against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; I have heard it." | 13And you magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it. |
| 14'Thus says the Lord GOD, "As all the earth rejoices, I will make you a desolation. | 14Thus says the Lord GOD: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. |
| 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."' | 15As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD. |
