1<\/sup>And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>“Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and you shall prophesy about it, and you shall say to it:<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, mount Seir, and I will extend my hand over you, and I will make you desolate and deserted.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>I will tear down your cities, and you will be deserted. And you shall know that I am the Lord.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>For you have been a continual adversary, and you have enclosed the sons of Israel, by the hands of the sword, in the time of their affliction, in the time of extreme iniquity.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will hand you over to blood, and blood will pursue you. Even though you have hated blood, blood will pursue you.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>And I will make mount Seir desolate and deserted. And I will take away from it the one who departs and the one who returns.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>And I will fill up its mountains with its slain. In your hills, and in your valleys, as well as in your torrents, the slain will fall by the sword.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>I will hand you over to everlasting desolations, and your cities will not be inhabited. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>For you have said, ‘Two nations and two lands will be mine, and I will possess them as an inheritance,’ though the Lord was in that place.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will act in accord with your own wrath, and in accord with your own zeal, by which you have acted with hatred toward them. And I will be made known by them, when I will have judged you.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>And you shall know that I, the Lord, have heard all your disgraces, which you have spoken about the mountains of Israel, saying: ‘They are deserted. They have been given to us to devour.’<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>And you rose up against me with your mouth, and you disparaged against me with your words. I have heard.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>Thus says the Lord God: When the whole earth will rejoice, I will reduce you to solitude.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>Just as you have rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, when it was laid waste, so will I act toward you. You will be laid waste, O mount Seir, with all of Idumea. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”<\/span> <\/p>\n
