* And the word of the Lord came to me , saying : * Son of man , set thy face against mount Seir , and prophesy concerning it , and say to it : * Thus saith the Lord God : Behold I come against thee , mount Seir , and I will stretch forth my hand upon thee , and I will make thee desolate and waste . * I will destroy thy cities , and thou shalt be desolate : and thou shalt know that I am the Lord . * Because thou hast been an everlasting enemy , and hast shut up the children of Israel in the hands of the sword in the time of their affliction , in the time of their last iniquity . * Therefore as I live , saith the Lord God , I will deliver thee up to blood , and blood shall pursue thee : and whereas thou hast hated blood , blood shall pursue thee . * And I will make mount Seir waste and desolate : and I will take away from it him that goeth and him that returneth . * And I will fill his mountains with his men that are slain : in thy hills , and in thy valleys , and in thy torrents they shall fall that are slain with the sword . * I will make thee everlasting desolations , and thy cities shall not be inhabited : and thou shalt know that I am the Lord God . * Because thou hast said : The two nations , and the two lands shall be mine , and I will possess them by inheritance : whereas the Lord was there . * Therefore as I live , saith the Lord God , I will do according to thy wrath , and according to thy envy , which thou hast exercised in hatred to them : and I will be made known by them , when I shall have judged thee . * And thou shalt know that I the Lord have heard all thy reproaches , that thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel , saying : They are desolate , they are given to us to consume . * And you rose up against me with your mouth , and have derogated from me by your words : I have heard them . * Thus saith the Lord God : When the whole earth shall rejoice , I will make thee a wilderness . * As thou best rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel , because it was laid waste , so will I do to thee : thou shalt be laid waste , O mount Seir , and all Idumea : and they shall know that I am the Lord .
