Moreover the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying
,
Son of man
, set
thy face
against mount
Seir
, and prophesy
against it,
And say unto it, Thus saith
the Lord
GOD
; Behold, O mount
Seir
, I am against thee, and I will stretch out
mine hand
against thee, and I will make
thee most
desolate
.
I will lay thy cities
waste
, and thou shalt be desolate
, and thou shalt know
that I am the LORD
.
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred
, and hast shed
the blood of the children
of Israel
by the force
of the sword
in the time
of their calamity
, in the time
that their iniquity
had an end
:
Therefore, as I live, saith
the Lord
GOD
, I will prepare
thee unto blood
, and blood
shall pursue
thee: sith
thou hast not hated
blood
, even blood
shall pursue
thee.
Thus will I make mount
Seir
most
desolate
, and cut off
from it him that passeth out
and him that returneth
.
And I will fill his mountains
with his slain
men : in thy hills
, and in thy valleys
, and in all thy rivers
, shall they fall
that are slain
with the sword
.
I will make thee perpetual
desolations
, and thy cities
shall not return
: and ye shall know
that I am the LORD
.
Because thou hast said, These two
nations
and these two
countries
shall be mine, and we will possess
it; whereas the LORD
was there:
Therefore, as I live, saith
the Lord
GOD
, I will even do
according to thine anger
, and according to thine envy
which thou hast used
out of thy hatred
against them; and I will make myself known
among them, when I have judged
thee.
And thou shalt know that I am the LORD
, and that I have heard
all thy blasphemies
which thou hast spoken
against the mountains
of Israel
, saying
, They are laid desolate
, they are given
us to consume
.
Thus with your mouth ye have boasted
against me, and have multiplied
your words
against me: I have heard
them .
Thus saith the Lord
GOD
; When the whole earth
rejoiceth
, I will make
thee desolate
.
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance
of the house
of Israel
, because it was desolate
, so will I do
unto thee: thou shalt be desolate
, O mount
Seir
, and all Idumea
, even all of it: and they shall know
that I am the LORD
.
